I gave a lift to two extremely downtrodden 18 year old german girls hitch hiking south into a Southerly with a sign that said they wanted to go east. They had a large bag of food and someone else had spotted their pup tent in a carpark. Their total budget appeared to be about $10. I joked "don't ride bikes here we hate them". We know they said. Explained they had bikes in the North Island but people abused them verbally and someone forced them off the road and told them it was illegal They looked broken.

I doubt they lived.

I'm mildly sick of being dismissed by foreigners who think they know better when offered local knowledge.

They were probably riding/hitching on a Motorway....see it here all the time, tho our 2 lane "motorway" probably looks like a quaint country road to most foreigners.
