644119	2008-02-28 05:06:00	Wainuitech: You have no sense of adventure! What's wrong with cycling up and down the hill with a PC under your arm? Too soft! Have you seen the Wainui Hill ?? Lot fitter and stronger people than me have gotten off of bikes and walked. I did walk it once - only once :lol: and that just about killed me - and at that time I was fit. That hill has broken MANY a good car. Now cycling into the back suburbs of wellington up what can only be described as goat tracks from Wainui - then having to haul a PC as well. Aint gonna happen :groan: :p any way I add it to the invoice if it gets to costly. Pctek's Idea maybe the closest - The horse ;) Mind you we (the family) don't always use the car - we often walk to the shops and back to get stuff - not completely reliant on the car.	wainuitech (129)
644120	2008-02-28 09:52:00	why is a motorbike/moped never considered an option?! Haha! 'Cause we're not all crazy enough to ride a bike.... nah, really 'cause we don't all have the balls to do so :P	Deathwish (143)

644122	2008-02-28 20:33:00	Have you seen the Wainui Hill ?? I saw that hill first in the fifties . It was not sealed and most people could not understand why anyone would want to commute over that hill and live in a swamp (as it was then . ):groan: Since those days, the road has been sealed and in some places, straightened a tiny bit, but essentially it has changed little over the years . While I don't doubt that Wainui is a nice suburb - certainly looked nice enough when we were there a couple of years back - I would want to work locally so I travelled that hill as few times as possible . Lovely view of the Valley from the top, though . :)	Roscoe (6288)

I cycle to work and I'm a joiner who goes out and does a lot of installation work my tools get delivered with whatever I'm installing and I cycle there . There will be different jobs they can re train for extra cycle mechanics for instance .	gary67 (56)
644124	2008-02-29 07:32:00	I've lived over here in Wainui for over 20 years - :eek: That long Oh my gawd :lol: and a further 20 mumble mumble mumble in Lower Hutt. Its like any place - the hill is nothing more than well just another piece of road to go over. There are many places in WGTN that I wouldn't live, but then the people that live there probably say the same about other places as well. Theres one good thing though - when the tidal wave comes through the heads at wgtn harbor one day, and the whole hutt valley and all of the lower parts of wgtn are under water - we can sit at the top and charge a entry fee to our nice and dry swamp :D , AND go fishing	wainuitech (129)
644125	2008-02-29 08:15:00	I used to go over that hill a couple of times a day for a few years. It never harmed me then, but I certainly never tried to walk or cycle over it. The bus service used to be cunningly arranged so that if everything was exactly on time and you ran real fast to the station from the bus, you only just missed the train. Coming home, the bus was usually a bit later than the train, so you could get home without too much waiting in the rain.	R2x1 (4628)

HAHAHA they have a time table ??:D Nothing much has changed from what I gather - I live on the main road, and every morning busses come past, but never seem to be the same time each day.	wainuitech (129)
