About Season of Cycling

Let's bike Christchurch!

It's as easy as getting your bike ready, finding some time and organising your route. Give yourself something to aim for this summer, no matter what your fitness or experience on a bike. Season of Cycling has something for all ages, fitness', family fun, racing, road biking or even getting out and exploring some of the City's best bike tracks and paths.

It's free to take your bike on the bus, which means you can travel further or use your bike to travel one way. Find out the bikes on bus routes

Great rides

Check for the best rides taking you over amazing terrain around Christchurch or further afield. And there are rides for everyone!

Getting around - the city is mostly flat, you don't have to work too hard to reach your destination. Check out the maps and routes for getting around. The routes show whether your ride is ‘on-road, with some cycle lanes', ‘off road or on quiet streets'. This means you can choose the best cycling route and make the most of the many scenic rides.

The Port Hills network of mountain bike tracks offers fantastic ride variety, with tracks that wind their way to the Summit Road - rewarding you with vistas over Lyttelton Harbour or across the City and the alps beyond.

Escape the heat and head for forest rides either at Bottle Lake or McLeans Island. The mountain bike tracks are great for all levels and ages - making it an excellent family outing.
