Its great to feel like you’re a part of something. It doesn’t matter whether your part is big or small. If you ride a bike you’re part of a world wide riding community. In New Zealand biking with kids is a big part of what we do. There are so many places to go and experience that kids would love.
We could think of no better way to start than with The New Zealand Cycle Trail or Nga Haerenga – which means ‘the journeys’. The New Zealand Cycle Trail is a diverse offering of purpose built cycle trails in some of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand. These cycling trails vary widely in length, trail surface and difficulty to ride. So finding the perfect one requires a bit of time & consideration.
Browse through what stories we have to offer on parts of the NZ Cycle Trail with more of a family twist as we gather great bike touring tips for families wanting to ride in different parts of New Zealand.
