I hope that the covered bike rack outside of Wallaceville railway station in Upper Hutt didn't cost more than $20,000. This rack holds 32 bikes but my wife and I have never seen more than two bikes stationed there at any one time - usually either one or none - in the year or so of been constructed.
Talk about wasting ratepayers money. It's all part of this craze on cycle lanes and the misguided notion of demand and useage.
Photos show the Wallaceville bike stand taken today at 4pm.

In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.

When seconds count, it can save lives.
We’ve had recent examples where drivers completely ignore the Police vehicle behind them. Other drivers slow right down without safely pulling over, and delay Police from responding to emergency situations. Please help us by allowing our team to get to those in need, so we can save lives.
Top tips when an emergency services vehicle approaches with lights and sirens:
🚑 You are required by law to pull to the side of the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
🚔 If the lights and siren of the Police vehicle continue past you, you can resume your journey.
🚒 Make sure you check the road is clear before moving on.
