Some Kaikohe folk have well and truly had enough of children and youths riding their bicycles and motorbikes on the town's main street, showing scant regard for vehicles or their own physical wellbeing.
Others, however, defend them as just kids having some harmless fun who do not deserve to be "picked on" by the police or anyone else.
But the fact is they are putting lives at risk.
Kaikohe residents and visitors alike have long been complaining, however, one resident says the problem with bicycles had become increasingly concerning over the past five months.
The worst problem was on the main street, Broadway, but other streets, and State Highway 12, were also popular with riders, most of them described as youths.
