This summer Britz is adding cycle power to their fleet of campers. 

With 18 New Zealand Cycle Trails to choose from throughout New Zealand, which cater to all abilities, there’s no excuse not to enjoy nature at its finest with friends and family.

If you are heading north of Auckland this summer and looking for a great way to explore the Bay of Islands, try the Twin Coast Cycle Trail. With amazing local and national history to check out as you cruise along the track, there are great picnic spots to be found and you can marvel at the awesome scenery at the same time!

For those looking to head to the Bay of Plenty this summer, the Thermal by Bike Trail, located in the heart of Rotorua makes for the ideal way to spend a long weekend. Showing off what’s unique about the area, the trail route includes access to four noteworthy geothermal fields including Whakarewarewa, Waimangu, Waiotapu, and Orakei Korako.

For the experienced cyclist, the St James Cycle Trail in North Canterbury should be on the top of your to-do list. The trail offers a variety of terrains and natural features from lakes and rivers to beech forest and grassland valleys. On your way back to Christchurch makes sure to visit AA Tourism’s number one attraction; Hanmer Springs Thermal pools and spa and unwind in the soothing waters.

As one of the most well known cycle tracks and AA Tourism’s number five Must Do, the Otago Rail Trail is one of the best ways to see central Otago. Stretching between Clyde and Middlemarch, exploring this trail makes for a journey of discovery which is suitable for all ages and experience.

This historic adventure offers 150 kilometres of rocky landscapes, river gorges, tunnels, high country sheep stations and stone bridges with twenty townships scattered along the way, which make for the perfect overnight stop.

Britz Bike hire is available from as little as $16 per day from Auckland and Christchurch and to keep you pedalling up to speed there are plenty of extras included in the price: helmet, flat pedals, bottle cages, rear track, puncture repair kits, pump, spare tube, tyre levers, multi tool, lock and key, and 0800 on-road service.
