  5. Was just riding my bike over a two lane Road Bridge, where I needed to be in the right lane, to get where I was going.

    Woman in a silver station wagon first tried to cut me off at some lights before the bridge then drove up behind me on the bridge, honked at me and then shouted out her window “get in the shoulder!”

    Clearly she hasn’t read her road code recently that cyclists are supposed to take the correct lane for where they are going and take the lane where necessary. We aren’t even supposed to be in the shoulder at all.

    Sometimes I feel like I should wear a shirt while biking which says on the back “if you honk at me don’t be surprised if you get the finger!” She did.

  21. #NewZealand #SecondHandClothing Stores Building Sustainable Fashion Communities

    Editor
    April 10th, 2026

    "The second hand clothing industry in New Zealand has transformed from humble charity shops into vibrant retail destinations that champion #sustainability while creating thriving community hubs. These businesses are proving that #PreLovedFashion can be both profitable and purposeful, building loyal customer bases while addressing environmental concerns about #FastFashion waste.

    "From #Auckland’s trendy Ponsonby strips to #Wellington’s bohemian Cuba Street, second hand retailers are redefining what it means to shop consciously. These stores have become gathering places where fashion enthusiasts discover unique pieces, environmental advocates support circular economy principles, and budget-conscious shoppers find quality garments at accessible prices.

    The Economic Success of #CircularFashion Retail

    Second hand clothing stores across New Zealand are experiencing remarkable growth, with many reporting year-on-year increases in both foot traffic and sales. This success stems from their ability to offer genuine value while meeting growing consumer demand for sustainable shopping options.

    Independent retailers like #TheWarehouseProject in #ChristchurchNZ and #RecycleBoutique in #AucklandNZ have built successful business models by curating high-quality #PreOwnedClothing. They source inventory through #consignment programmes, direct purchases from customers, and partnerships with fashion-conscious donors who want their unwanted items to find new homes rather than landfills.

    These businesses generate revenue through multiple streams: direct sales of curated clothing, consignment commissions, and increasingly popular styling services. Many have expanded beyond basic retail to offer wardrobe consultations, personal shopping experiences, and even clothing swap events that build community engagement while driving sales.

    Environmental Impact and Community Responsibility

    The environmental benefits of second hand clothing retail extend far beyond individual transactions. According to Environment New Zealand, #TextileWaste represents a significant portion of household waste, making clothing reuse programmes essential for reducing landfill burden.

    Local second hand stores divert thousands of garments from waste streams annually. Shops like #KindStore in #HamiltonNZ and #HuntersAndCollectors in #DunedinNZ process hundreds of clothing items weekly, extending product lifecycles and reducing demand for new textile production. This approach significantly decreases water usage, chemical processing, and carbon emissions associated with manufacturing new garments.

    Beyond environmental benefits, these stores contribute meaningfully to their local communities. Many employ local staff, support charitable causes through donation programmes, and provide affordable clothing options for families facing financial constraints. Some stores dedicate specific days or sections to supporting local families in need, creating social safety nets within commercial frameworks."
