Rangiora Cyclist Findlay Johnson
I'm writing a book about the history of the Timaru to Christchurch Cash Cycle Race from 1899 to 1960. I recall a Rangiora cyclist Findlay Johnson competing in the race mid 1950 to early 1960. He was a gutsy rider, as he had a disability which restricted him to riding with one leg only. Did anyone know him or does he have family still living in the area?
Rangiora was strong in cash cycling for many years. Richard Laskey from Southbrook won the race and recorded fastest time in 1926. I have great photo of him. I would welcome any help anyone can offer, including old programme books, photos, posters etc. Thank you

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
