"Denys and Jan Latham, are long time, dedicated and committed locals of
Porirua City."
My wife and I support and compliment Cycle Safe Porirua (CSP) for
their initiative to promote cycling as a catalyst for promoting healthy lifestyles. In
particular, many of our Pacific Island/Maori residents understand the need to become more
active, especially pre- and post-surgery.
With ages ranging from 8 to 80 years, the group
has grown. Riders participate on a regular basis, three times a week. The result and enjoyment
experienced, have led some members to save and purchase their own bikes. Two have even
progressed to e-bikes. We continue to give our full support to Cycle Safe Porirua.
