New Zealand politician casually cycled to hospital to give birth

Sundays are usually a lazy, uneventful affair for many of us.

Not for the 42-week pregnant New Zealand Minister for Women, Julie Anne Genter, who made her way to hospital for an induction.

That's all very normal, except perhaps for her mode of transportation. Instead of getting in a car, she cycled to the hospital instead.

"My partner and I cycled because there wasn’t enough room in the car for the support crew… but it also put me in the best possible mood!" she wrote on Instagram.
