Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE GEAR

A bike for every rider

Choose from a diverse fleet — comfortable step‑through models for easy riding or more robust hardtail e‑bikes for light off‑road sections — all maintained for dependable performance.

THE TRAILS

Direct access to regional rides

From the Cambridge base you can head straight onto the Te Awa River Ride or connect with wider Waikato River Trail routes, giving quick access to scenic riverside and parkland cycling.

THE FREEDOM

Independent exploration at your pace

Hire is structured as a two‑hour window so you can set your own tempo — a relaxed photo stop, a snack break, or a brisk spin — with a pre‑ride briefing and local route guidance to get you started.

What the day feels like

What the two‑hour hire feels like

The session begins with a short check‑in and fitting, then an induction to the bike and local route suggestions; after that you’re free to head out on a curated slice of Waikato — pedal assist smooths longer stretches, while a hardtail opens light off‑road options — before returning the hire by the end of your two‑hour window.
