From Morning Report, 7:54 am on 19 October 2023

A Wellington cyclist who attached a broom to the front of his bike to brush thumb tacks off the cycleway says it was very cost effective.

Reports of thumb tacks appearing on cycle ways have been popping up on Wellington cycling Facebook pages for weeks now.

Local Marcus McShane says a broken broom, a long stick and fifteen minutes is all he needs to clear the path.

McShane spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
