A greatful shout out to New Zealand Police for their kaitiakitanga; kindly providing my son with lights when he was spotted cycling home from mountain biking after dark. We have provided him with multiple sets of lights, but he 'forgot' to take them when he went riding after school with his mates. Great to see proactive and supportive policing to keep our tamariki safe.

You can enjoy a brilliant day cycling Nelson Tasman without considering yourself “a cyclist”.

You might not own padded shorts.
You may not remember the last time you rode 20 kilometres.
You might hear the word “hill” and immediately start reconsidering the entire plan.

That’s all perfectly fine.

We can help match the bike, route and experience to your confidence and the kind of day you actually want - whether that means an easy coastal ride, plenty of food stops or an e-bike giving you a little help along the way.

This isn’t about proving anything.

It’s about having a great day out.

Tell us who’s riding and what sounds enjoyable. We’ll help with the rest 😊

Māpua is already a brilliant place to spend an afternoon.
Getting there by bike makes the day even better.

The Magical Māpua Tour follows a scenic coastal route towards Rabbit Island, includes the ferry crossing and gives you time to explore Māpua Wharf’s cafés, galleries and tempting places to stop.

Then, rather than turning lunch into a race against the return journey, there’s a shuttle back to Nelson.

It’s 28 kilometres of coastline, conversation and anticipation - with something rather good waiting at the other end.

We will be running the Magical Māpua Tour all day on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September - come and celebrate the first weekend of spring (and Father's Day 😉), book with us today!

Spring is now less than two weeks away, and we’re already starting to get a few of those warmer, sunnier days. Long may they last!

There’s something pretty good about this time of year – longer days, a bit more warmth in the sun, and plenty more reasons to get back out on the bike.

What are you looking forward to most about springtime? ☀️

Before the guests.
Before the bikes are prepped.
Before the coffee, even - our team are usually already thinking about the trail.

Not because they have to be.
Because that's just what happens when you genuinely love where you work.

When they tell you about the history of Te Tauihu, the ecology of the wetlands you're riding past, or the best place to stop for lunch on a cold Tuesday in August - they're not reading from a card. They've lived it, researched it, and ridden through it more times than they can count.

This is the part of Cycle Nelson that doesn't appear in a brochure.
