Are you taking your bike away at Christmas on a bike rack?
I heard earlier this week that there is a blitz on vehicles transporting bikes on bike racks on a towbar where the bikes obscure the number plate and indicator lights.
The law states that it is mandatory that a registration plate is legible and unobscured. Section 28 of the Land Transport (Motor Vehicle Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2011 allows drivers to obtain supplementary registration plates that can be attached to objects such as dog boxes or bike racks that obscure permanent registration plates.

Gorge Update from David McGonigal
This week has seen a second crew swing into action at the bottom of the slip, so we now have two teams ready to work seven days a week to clear the slip and get the road re-opened. Although wet weather has prevented work at the top of the slip for the past couple of days, work to clear debris at the bottom is continuing.
The slip
The benching team made fantastic progress this week (in spite of the weather) and we are close to finishing the first bench.
You can see from this photograph just how deep they’ve had to cut down into the hillside.
Raffle has been drawn
The prizes for the raffle were part of the prize haul that Bike Manawatu won at the grass Roots Sports Awards.
Bike Manawatu not only won the “Club of the Year”, we also won the “Best Presented Club” and were finalists in 2 other sections, “Best Fundraising Initiative” and “Best event”
SO it was decided that all club members should have the opportunity to share in the prizes so 2 of the vouchers from Lone Star were used as 2 of the draws for the raffle.
