Margaret Mary bikes through what looks like a snow-littered field in the middle of the city after the storm on Sunday. “Were you here for the hail? As I biked through the park I saw it stacked up quite a bit in the grass.” Margaret Mary bikes to work and generally everywhere in the city now that she is temporarily housing more centrally. Even now she pedals an average of 12 km per day. She will return to her house further out of the city when earthquake re-build is completed in January. ‘I bike because it’s… faster? Fitter? And no cars!”
