New Zealand by Bike Cycleways, Great Rides, Rail Trails and Mountain Bikes Rides Across NZ
New Zealand is one of the world's top cycling destinations offering everything from easy multi-day flat touring trails to the most challenging of expert rides.
The Government has sponsored the development of Nga Haerenga, New Zealand Cycle Trails throughout New Zealand. These multi-rides are varying difficulties but none too difficult for any age group or family. These Great Rides are an amazing way to see New Zealand off the beaten track.
Even before the new Great Rides New Zealand has always been a mecca for fabulous rides such as the iconic Queen Charlotte Track in the Nelson area and the 42nd Traverse in the Tongariro Forest; or the world-renowned regional rides around Queenstown, Rotorua and Taupo.
NZbyBike.com is the home for your travel information on rides in all the regions around New Zealand. Find places to stay along the Great Rides of Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail, or things to do when you're not riding your bike.
Enjoy and keep pedaling!
