I have an idea, please tell me if it is good or bad.

I’ve been offered a second hand bike like the one pictured below, and *may* be able to get a loan to pay it off.

Do people think (particularly interested in your reply if you own a business) that I could have a few local businesses pay a one-off or per-[insert period of time here] fee for advertising space on the side of the cargo area to help me afford to pay off said loan?

I’ve heard some businesses pay for people to do this to their car so why not a bike?

Please boost if you like so I can get more feedback on this idea.

Edit to add: if you have a business in #Wellington or #LowerHutt and you’re interested in doing this with me, please let me know!

Extreme rainfall in #NewZealand causes devastating #flooding in #Wellington

A month's worth of rain fell in the capital city of Wellington, triggering landslides and massive flooding that washed away homes and cars.

By Jesse Ferrell, Apr 21, 2026

"A state of emergency was declared for New Zealand Monday after extreme rainfall swept cars off roads and caused landslides that buried homes.

"MetService New Zealand reported that one spot recorded more than 3 inches of rain in an hour. Wellington, the nation's capital, reported nearly 2 inches (50 mm) of rain on Monday with an additional inch (25 mm) on Tuesday. Rainfall in the city since Saturday totaled around 4.6 inches (117 mm).

"Although no fatalities were reported, one man was missing after floodwaters swept through his home, according to local media reports."
