From 1928 to EBikes

I’m looking from our Kopu Bridge

Looking at the original bridge, the only, still operational swing bridge in NZ.

A kids we bounced over that one lane bridge, on our way to a camping holiday in Coromandel.

Small car, family of six, summer optimism.

Seventy plus years later I’d be riding an E Bike, staring, dreaming, at a bridge built in 1928. I took this photo from our ‘new’ bridge, a graceful arch, that bounces as heavy trucks go by.
