52 of New Zealand’s best
Kennett Brothers
Published 01 November 2015; RRP: $24.90
Cycling in New Zealand is booming again thanks to the
many safe, easy, off-road cycle paths which have been created in recent years.
This will be further boosted by the more than $300 million the government plans
to spend on urban cycle ways over the next three years, as they create 250
kilometres of additional cycle paths and lanes. The end result is many more
traffic-free paths for Kiwis to enjoy – time to get on your bike!
Short Easy Bike Rides showcases 52
of New Zealand’s newest, most picturesque and leisurely bike journeys – from
the Bay of Islands to Auckland, the Waikato, Tauranga, Taranaki, Wairarapa,
Nelson, the West Coast, Christchurch, Central Otago, Dunedin, Invercargill, and
all points in-between.
These rides are all off-road and away from traffic,
along wide, smooth paths, appropriate for any type of bike. Most are between
one and two hours duration (although some longer, more challenging rides have
also been included) on flat terrain. Suitable for all ages, levels of fitness
and ability, each ride has been carefully chosen for its closeness to popular
local attractions and major centres. Think delectable cafes, state of the art
playgrounds, art galleries, local beaches, areas of outstanding natural beauty
and iconic tourist destinations.
Short Easy Bike Rides makes bike
riding a total experience; one which engages all the senses and makes being
outdoors fun. Comprehensive and informative, the book features must-see
destinations; makes recommendations about hiring bikes, where to eat, drink and
stay; and contains maps and altitude graphs. There is also invaluable advice
about family biking, what to wear, take and do along the way.
