Peck off!

Well Councillor Peck sure has one thing right – cycling related controversy attracts a tonne of comments and clicks. As I’ve pointed out recently, I’m pretty sure Stuff.co.nz’s perpetual articles on car versus bike topics reflect an editorial policy that’s purely out to increase their stats without offering any useful insight. When was the last time an article appeared about how road funding actually works, or the pros and cons of bicycle registration? Never, that’s when. Instead we get endless tripe about how one road user group is annoying to the other one.
