Tony Lohmeyer was cycling home after work on State Highway 6 when he approached some roadworks.

With a 15 to 20-knot tailwind pushing him along, Lohmeyer realised he was travelling slightly faster than the cars through the restricted section on the way into Blenheim.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

"travelling slightly faster than the cars"  so admits he was speeding. The speed limit is not just for cars, it also includes cyclists or any vehicle on the road. Tail wind is no excuse, you have brakes on the bike use them.

"He decided to go inside the road cones," second mistake, sorry but the road cones are there for a reason, your safety and you and you decided to ignore this warning. Stupid is is stupid do.

Sorry but this is your fault no one elses...

About 70 percent of coronavirus patients tested at a Tokyo hospital last month carried a mutation known for reducing vaccine protection, Japanese public broadcaster NHK said on Sunday.

The E484K mutation, nicknamed "Eek" by some scientists, was found in 10 of 14 people who tested positive for the virus at Tokyo Medical and Dental University Medical Hospital in March, the report said.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Being prediabetic myself... you have to watch what you eat. It can effect your health in so many bad ways, things you don't realise is linked and or caused by diabetes.

To fight it, it becomes a life-style change, not just a diet to loose some weight, but eating healthily and regular exercise for the rest of your life. That is what a life style change is.
