Cycling in New Zealand
For those who are reasonably fit, cycling is a great way to see the countryside. Most people choose mountain bikes, but as most of the riding is on roads, touring bikes are equally good. If you just want to do a bit of local exploration, some hostels and guests houses have bikes you can use free of charge (or for a very small charge). But not all of the hostel has bikes for you to borrow. Renting bikes for more than a day here and there can be expensive ($15 - $35 a day). It’s probably cheaper to buy a bike if you’re planning some long-distance cycle-touring. Look for bargains on hostel noticeboards (between $150 and $300 is a good deal).
You’ll often be able to pick up extras, like wet weather gear, lights, helmet and a pump, reasonably too. (Note that helmets are required by law.) The advantage of buying from a cycle shop is that sometimes they will guarantee to buy back the bike at the end of your trip for about 50% of what you paid for it.
