Best bike rides for less confident cyclists

Summer's around the corner Ōtautahi. So it's time to dust off your bike and get out there!

Warm weather and long evenings beckon, so why not reacquaint yourself with your bike? Feel the wind in your hair as you explore our beautiful city on two wheels! Biking is a great way to travel a little further than you might on foot, get the benefits of exercise and fresh air - and find new corners of Christchurch to discover and enjoy.

We know that not everyone feels super confident on a bike; for those of us who might be a bit tentative, we’ve put together this list of fun and scenic trips suitable for less experienced riders. Most of these are on shared paths so having a bell on your bike will be super helpful for alerting walkers that you're approaching.
