But for some families it's not an option - especially if you live in a rural area, or your kids go to a school on the other side of town. So tell us the main mode of transport by which your children or grandchildren commute.
Plus: Don't forget to join up to a Foot It Club at www.neighbourly.co.nz..., and go into the draw to WIN one of 50 Micro scooters.

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

Whether you’re after the chance to build your technical expertise, or perhaps heading towards retirement; here’s an opportunity to develop and build your skills while working with a great group of volunteers and other staff, all committed to operating and developing Hokitika’s Regent Theatre.
The Regent Theatre is owned and operated by a community society providing Hokitika with a cinema, a theatre, a town hall, and a great café. And we’re open 7 days a week. We pride ourselves on our state-of-the art digital film technology which we’re constantly upgrading to improve our theatre experience.
We’re looking for a new In-House Technician to look after our IT network, and our projection and building systems. It’s a varied role – in an average day you’ll will do anything from adjust our satellite dish for a concert simulcast, set up movies in the projection system, change the filters on the heating system, or sort out a software glitch. And you’ll be well supported – we have higher level support available for all of our systems as well as to provide training and development.
You may – or may not - have a formal technical qualification, but you will be confident dealing with new technologies, and be quick at identifying problems and working through solutions. You’ll also be able to run a routine maintenance programme on the Theatre’s equipment to minimise any downtime. You’ll work with other technical specialists on projects, liaise with our technical partners around the country, and deal with film distributors on film and projection issues. You’ll also maintain the documentation on our technology, and be happy to share your expertise with others. Some Photoshop skills would be an added plus, as would a background in theatre productions or events.
This is a great opportunity to learn about some new technologies in a fast paced and busy environment. You’ll also learn something about theatre craft and the cinema industry. And if you like the movies and shows – we have some great staff benefits for you as well.
You’ll have a cool head, work well with others and have an open and honest communication style.
We estimate this is about 20 hour a week, but there may be additional hours involved depending on the demands of the theatre. And, if you love the theatre environment and are flexible as to what you do, there is also the opportunity to get involved in other aspects of the cinema and theatre as well.
If you are interested, or if you would like more information, then please contact Vaughan Bradley, Theatre Manager 03 755 8611, or manager@hokitikaregent.com with any questions regarding the role.
