While the rest of the world has moved on, NZ is a nervous place in these ‘post’ covid times. Motorways and bridges are closed at the slightist hint of possible danger, least something ‘might’ happen. They recently closed the harbour bridge in Auckland because of high winds.
Then they cancelled the trains, once everyone got to work. (good luck trying to get home again)

Yeah……., I remember riding a bike (pictured below) across the harbour bridge to work in a gail in the late 1980’s and having it try to change lanes because of the wind. I also remember having a back tyre that used to let go in the wet on some metal plates on the bridge and thinking nothing of it. Sometimes I got to work and my socks are soaking wet, so I just took them off, squeezed out all the water, and carried on.
I guess times have changed (maybe not for the better). Life in those days was just a big adventure to me.
Under 5000rpm -no power, over 5000rpm -It’s off like a scolded cat.
Then, there is these emergencies that are sent to your phone.
I deal with most of this by leaving the phone at home, and switching off the radio…
Life is blisser that way…
