What a joke. $816 for a bike levy? They're pricing people out of riding at this rate. 😤

Hana Stewart2026-06-22T07:55:00.000Z

mate, ACC already collects billions. This is just greed.

Hana Stewart2026-06-22T07:20:00.000Z

as a tradie who rides to work every day, this is just a slap in the face. they already take heaps in rego and tax.

lol cope. go back to your car then

Phoenix Reid2026-06-22T08:12:00.000Z

but the levy doesn't match the risk. It's just a tax.

Hundreds protesting? That's nothing. Should be thousands out there. We're getting fleeced and they don't care.

Exactly. They just see bikers as a cash cow.

yeah nah get stuffed ACC. my bike's just a weekend thing and i already pay enough.

Finn Walker2026-06-22T08:41:00.000Z

it's a safety thing. Bikes are risky.

Is this why the traffic was bad today? I just wanted to get to the gardens.

NZ Herald2026-06-22T08:16:00.000Z

ok but what about the traffic i sat in for 20 mins?

Ella Thompson2026-06-22T07:55:00.000Z

Honestly, I get why they're angry. My partner's bike rego is already insane and it's going up again? Feels like a moneys grab.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-22T08:09:00.000Z

Good on them for standing up. ACC is a bloated bureaucracy that needs a hard look at itself.

Finn Walker2026-06-22T08:21:00.000Z

If it saves lives it's worth it. Seen too many bike accidents on the news.
