Quick Tips.

In New Zealand, the rules are that you must wear a helmet at all times and have a rear reflector on your bike. At night you’ll need a white front light and a red rear light so others can see you easily. A bell lets people know when you are passing and a bike lock is a good idea too!

Cycling doesn’t stop for Winter! Simply wrap up warm and pack a jacket. With the right gear your bike will help you beat heavy traffic, and arrive with a healthy glow. Just make sure you’re visible with the right lights, clothing and equipment.

be bright

Be bright

Light-coloured clothing, bike lights and reflectors will make sure you’re seen when the sun goes down.

keep warm and dry

Stay warm and dry

Gloves and leggings will keep you warm on those frosty mornings. A rain jacket’s essential, and there are some great cycling ponchos available now too. If you’re riding to work, take some spare shoes and socks for the day.

ride to the conditions

Ride to the conditions

Ride a bit slower when the cycleways and roads are wet. And when it’s drizzly or dark make sure you maintain good road positions and pay extra attention to people walking and other road users.

Good times in the city

K Road Queens Wharf

Why not start this ride by meeting up at a cool K Rd café? All going smoothly proceed to East St and cruise down to the start of the Lightpath. Glide along the suspended pink path to the top of Nelson St, where the cycleways make getting downtown a breeze. Cycle slowly through the viaduct area, then along Quay St and on to Queens Wharf. Drift down past the cloud to one of Auckland’s latest greatest art works. What a spot for some summer romance!
