The owner of another bike hire company, Martinborough Bicycle Hire, has lived on Puruatanga Road for 25 years and said that they had never heard of a fatal crash involving bikes on that stretch of tarmac.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing and South Wairarapa Mayor Martin Connelly told RNZ that the council will wait for a police report before taking action on reviewing the speed limit on the road.
A BRIT has been killed and three others injured in a catastrophic crash after their shared bike was hit by a car in New Zealand.
A British High Commission spokesperson has said they were working with New Zealand police following "an incident involving British people in Martinborough.".
The group aged between their mid to late 40s and early 50s had hired the shared bike from Indi Bikes Martinborough.
