“Bikes Take Over Parking Spots as Protest Action”
- Description
-
These images were taken for the October 15th, 1978 edition of the Tribune weekly newspaper, the first of which was published.
An excerpt from the article read: “Palmerston North motorists were cursing motorcyclists in the city on Friday (October 6) – and it’s likely they were in a similar mood last Friday night. Because on both sides of Broadway, motorcyclists were moving in and taking up metered car parking spaces for their machines, as a protest action. The impromptu protest began after some motorcyclists were issued with ‘tickets’ for parking their machines in a place where they have been parking for years, near Collinson and Cunninghams.”
These images form part of the Manawatū Evening Standard Negative Collection. Unfortunately, only negatives between April and December 1978 are held.
