giant coat hangerharbour bridge.All over New Zealand there are giant icons to represent something about the local area. Post a pic of your bike in front of our local icons.
December 21, 2015 at 4:17 pm #10922I’l start with 2 I went past yesterday, one I already knew about the other I didn’t.
Otorohanga is famous for it’s Kiwi house so why not a giant kiwi?
The second one is in Kihikihi and I have driven past many times and never noticed before, it’s not that big really but compared to what it’s modelled off it’s huge.

March 2, 2016 at 4:02 pm #11713Stuff have published an article today regarding these local icons all over NZ.
They also published a similiar article in December 2015 with a few different ones.
I reckon they’ve missed a few though. If you live near one of these icons get a bike of your bike in front of it and post it up!
