Back on the road

We just wanted to write a few thankful words to everyone who have reacted to our articles, have been so kind to make a donation to Forest and Bird and have offered us challenges and places to stay. It is much more appreciated than we can ever express via a quick post on our blog but we hope you all realise that your support is giving us wings!

We are starting to become aware that the cycling issue is a hot topic in New Zealand and if our experiences and comments help to improve the situation, we will keep reporting as we go. Tomorrow we will be back on the road so email-responses might come in slower but we are doing every effort to stay in touch.

A lot of people have also come back to us, worrying about our safety. After a traumatic ride from Kerikeri to Paihia, we realised that only non-highway roads are to be cycled in New Zealand. We are making sure that we take the safest routes and we will make sure to let you know which they are.

Also, many people have commented that we should cycle the West Coast of the South Island so we are considering changing the route.

Again, many thanks for your support. Keep track of us.




Kindest regards
