Bicycle dismantlers?
Have been wanting to get a bicycle for a while now but times are tough and a bike is not high on the necessary list to be honest. Thankfully I was given an old bike recently, but it needs some serious TLC and parts. I guess I could go to a new bike shop and buy parts but It struck me that there must be literally hundreds of old bikes in Northland, what happens to them all? Is there like a bike dismantlers around somewhere? I understand that doing up old things isn't particularly desirable in todays consumer, materialistic environment but recycling IS becoming more and more popular and the older bikes where no doubt of much better quality than the Chinese warehouse machines of today so many probably only need a good clean and oil/ or can be stripped for parts. Am in the Kerikeri/Okaihau area, thanks for any info.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
