New Zealand Guide
BIKE RENTAL OR BYO: For Cycling New Zealand Travel, there seems little value in bringing a bike all the way to NZ if coming for only a week or so. If deciding to leave the bike at home, long term rental is possible from Auckland, Christchurch and Nelson. Also worth considering if touring for longer than two months are "buy back" schemes. This is where half the purchase price is refunded if the bike is returned in reasonable condition. Some shops may have a time limit. Also bikes can be hired for simple sightseeing Cycling New Zealand Travel in many cities and tourist resorts.
DAILY DISTANCES: Daily Cycling New Zealand Bike Tour Travel distances are up to each individual, from 20 to 200kms, but it is important to avoid overdoing it, especially at the start, unless you're a masochist. You're on holiday and this is supposed to be fun! The first four days are usually the hardest on the, er proverbial bottom, and allow a week to acclimatise. Unfit people should allow longer. TERRAIN: New Zealand road builders had little time for the niceities of finding the easiest gradient. Straight up and over was the order of the day. Consequently there are no long all day climbs as found in the European Alps, but most of the NZ alpine passes have steep sections. Overall, gradients tend to be easier on the South Island, which is surprising considering the number and height of the mountains. The South Island is said to have most of the mountains to look at and the North Island has most of the hills to cycle up, and down! Do not under-estimate North Island hills! Cycling New Zealand Travel provides clients with the means to explore the quiet back roads and trails of New Zealand at a pace conducive to discovery and exploration.
Every year more people discover the delights of cycling as a means of touring New Zealand - Cycling New Zealand Travel. It is an excellent way to see the country, with its many quiet roads and varied, magnificent scenery. It is truly a Cycling New Zealand Travel's Paradise, hopefully the following will help with regard to planning your trip... BIKE SHOPS & SPARES PARTS: For your Cycling New Zealand Travel, bikeshops are found in most locations with over 5,000 people between Kaitaia and Invercargill. Unless your bike is a rare breed then spares shouldn't be hard to get and are readily available in larger centres but you may have to wait for it to be delivered at smaller centres. Local car mechanics may be able to help with temporary repairs where no bikeshop exists.
RELEVANT TRAFFIC LAWS: NZers drive on the left, as in Britain, Australia and Japan, although in some places this may not be apparent. Vehicles turning left have to give way to those turning right into the same street. Cycling is illegal on national park tracks and most motorways. Helmets are compulsory. Cycling New Zealand Travel Cyclists should give way to cars and trucks... or you may be run over! New Zealand might be a Pedallers' Paradise but it isn't Utopia! So it might be worth investing in a mirror to keep an eye on the moronic drivers approaching from behind. If you have a bad experience try to record their details, such as registration number, date, direction and distinguishing features and report to the police. MOUNTAIN BIKING: Most parts of New Zealand have suitable terrain for mountain biking and many Cycling New Zealand Travel visitors on mountain bikes combine off and on road touring. Bring or buy a set of smooth tread tyres to reduce vibration on tar-sealed highways. "Great NZ Mountain Bike Rides", written and published by Kennett Brothers, Wellington, is useful for off-road enthusiasts. ROAD CONDITIONS: All major highways and many secondary roads are tar-sealed (paved). If staying to highways and occasionally using gravel roads then a hybrid bike may suffice. Usually the unsealed (gravel) secondary highways in popular tourist areas are well maintained. Discover New Zealand's compact kaleidoscope of landscapes by Cycling New Zealand Travel- amble along white-sand beaches, weave between steaming volcanoes or step onto chiseled mountains. Let your feet be led by this comprehensive tramping guide.
