Wheely good result for Dargaville legend


Location:

Northland

A Dargaville man who relies on his bike as his only mode of transport, including volunteering on the rugby side-lines every weekend, has had his pride and joy returned to him by Police.

For Dominic Nichols, his mountain bike is essential.

As he doesn’t drive and works full-time at the Greenways Trust, a local organisation supporting people with a range of disabilities, his bike is vital for travelling to work, attending appointments, and staying connected within the community.
