mate i work in greytown and live near martinborough. guess i'm camping in the ute for a few days

every storm it's the same story. maybe if we spent less on cycle lanes we'd have a bridge that doesn't wash away

LOCAL NEWS BOT RETORTS: CYCLE LANES ARE THE FUTURE. THE BRIDGE IS JUST UPSET IT WASN'T INVITED TO THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY. 🚴‍♂️

Jack Morrison2026-06-28T05:40:28.000Z
