And the usual hecklers will again try to find something bad about it.
Isn't it neat to see someone living her best life?
RE: JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital - harm_less - 28-11-2021
JAG: Hun, I think I'm going into labour.
Peter: On ya bike.
JAG: No problem.

10 minutes bike ride to hospital and contractions every 2-3 minutes. Wonder if she had to stop 4 times on the way for the contractions - I can't imagine cycling through those!
That's about how far it is for us - 22 minutes walk from home to hospital, so I might have walked.

Faster on a bike...

Good for her - & for the second time, too.
But someone, somewhere will find something to complain about.

I met her before, she is really lovely. Had a good chat when she was down in Christchurch.
RE: JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital - Oldfellah - 28-11-2021
Probably couldn't get the car started
RE: JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital - Zurdo - 28-11-2021
By the look of her bike, the car has never been started....tyres are all probably flat too.
RE: JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital - TygerTung - 29-11-2021
It is often way quicker to bike if there is traffic jams to contend with. I find it is usually way quicker to bike around Christchurch for short trips.

Sometimes when you are a diehard biker you prefer not using automobiles unless you absolutely have to.
RE: JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital - jim157 - 29-11-2021
all you people congratulating her make me sick, she is a attention whore, was there a car full of media following her like last time? or just her husband in the car.
she wants to ride her bike good for her just lay off the self promotion she should fuck off back to america on her bike

She hasn't committed any crime - all she did was bike to hospital so she could give birth. Not sure why that upsets you so much.
Try not being quite so nasty; people are more likely to take your comments seriously.

Being a politician is very much about self promotion in case you hadn't noticed.

JAG has impressed the bejesus out of many Kiwis with her 'super woman' efforts under trying circumstances. Sure it's not a Buck Shelford burst scrotum event but impressive none the less.
RE: JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital - jim157 - 29-11-2021
you can go with her

There was always going to be someone who'd find something to complain about.
