A British father and son cycling around the globe to achieve a double world record say drivers in New Zealand are the worst they have encountered across 24 countries.
Joshua, 23, and George Kohler, 57, have cycled thousands of kilometres along Europe’s cycleways, through the mountain corridors of the ancient Silk Road, and dodged scooters in Southeast Asia. But on their 308th day, they had a near-miss with a caravan along the Buller Gorge road near Murchison.
The Norfolk pair were cycling downhill around a tight, blind bend when a car towing a caravan overtook Joshua, forcing an oncoming vehicle to pull over and stop to allow the caravan through.
