Wish you were there – Video postcard from Friday night
- Cycling in Wellington
- Some people have reasons. Some people have excuses. Some people just didn’t even know about it. And now, through the magic of the internet, all of you can live vicariously through a condensed version of Friday evening’s critical mass ride. Hopefully you can all join us next time. As awesome as the video is, being there was way more awesome. Totally.

Why has the Basin Reserve Trust failed to do its job?
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- In today's editorial, The Wellingtonian editor Joseph Romanos inaccurately and unfairly characterizes the Save The Basin Reserve Campaign as anti-roading: "But instead of fronting a politically suicidal campaign called Ban Cars, they chose the more emotive Save the Basin, their logic being that a major road linking Buckle St to the Mt Victoria Tunnel would have a detrimental impact on the sportsmen doing their thing at the Basin. The news that the Basin Reserve trustees had negotiated for a grandstand to be built at the northern end of the ground leaves these campaigners in a quandary. Romanos may be using the inflammatory language and approach of tabloid journalism - trying to report the conflict rather than the issue - but he does raise a key question: why has the Basin Reserve Trust failed to to its job?

BNU Pretenders v Petone Pumas 17th July 2011
- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- Well, what can I say... it's not every day we forget how many goals we have scored or who scored them! Going into this game we were quietly optimistic as this Petone team hadn't scored a goal yet this season. However, they'd only lost their last game 2-0 so we couldn't be complacent.

Final fortnight of club rugby set to reach fever pitch

- A highly competitive second round Jubilee Cup could come to a head as early as this weekend, but, in the case of the Hardham Cup at least, both the playoff and promotion-relegation battle looks set to go do into the final round. There will be no love lost in the Jubilee Cup, where Oriental-Rongotai became the first team to officially qualify for the playoffs on 30 July by winning their fifth straight second round victory last week against Poneke.

Who wants to drive a bus?
- Cycling in Wellington
- Who wants to drive a bus? As a cyclist, I know all too well how inattentive/impatient motorists and inattentive/impatient pedestrians behave on our streets. Bus drivers not only have to deal with that, but they also have to deal with timetables, dispatchers, fare-zones, overhead power lines, cash and of course passengers, some of whom… I’m glad I don’t have to deal with.

Bike parking in Wellington: it’s boring
- Cycling in Wellington
- It’s not that easy to design a functional, interesting bike rack that comes at a reasonable cost. The standard ‘staples’ we see around Wellington are functional but…they’re kinda boring and I have to say I don’t think they add much to the cityscape. In fact I’ll go further than that. They’re drab and plain, and I say we see them but actually we don’t.

BNU 1sts v Kapiti Coast United 2nd July 2011

- The men's 1st team took on KCU on the bog that is Miramar Park. The conditions were far from ideal to play the 'beautiful game' and suited the long ball and chase game of the opposition. Despite the crap conditions we tried to play constructive football which was pleasing. George Maemba scored the first, and his first of the season, after a sustained spell of pressure.
