I can't help but notice that we're heading into tough economic times with much of this country's infrastructure still needing a massive capital injection to keep us in the game. After a couple of decades of kcuf all investment (or wholesale pillaging in regards to the rail network) has left us with a lot of catching up to do Sad

So which bit of infrastructure needs the most love?

Without the 'singletrack network' option there, that would be a difficult decision.

{Posted via mobile.vorb.org.nz} If by 'most help' you mean 'pour taxpayer money into for no apparent gain other than winning some votes from stupid people', then none.

You mean what I do every work day? I'd rather commute on singletrack Wink

*sigh* - have added "cycling network" for people who take things too literally and like dressing like colour blind parrots.

I said "like dressing like colour blind parrots" where you can clearly see in the photo that I'm suffering from huge traumatic internal torment of my soul.
