Reviews

I booked a mountain bike in early March, planning to ride from Kaiteriteri to Motueka. On the day of the rental, the staff carefully helped me adjust the seat and explained how to operate the bike, including shifting gears, and pointed out the dedicated bike track from Kaiteriteri to Motueka. Seeing that I was a little worried and confused about riding on the winding slopes and gravel roads, the staff then led me on a ride to the vicinity of Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park entrance. Thanks to the staff's kindness and patience, I was able to enjoy a pleasant half-day cycling trip within beautiful scenery.

We had a few hours to kill after landing in Nelson before dinner and decided to rent from cycle nelson and checkout the mtn bike park. Very friendly and helpful staff, bikes were great as was the park!

Chris was very friendly and helpful! Top notch service as my chain broke on top of the Ziggy. I sent him a message and 15 min later he stood there with another bike. Would recommend!

Chris was so accommodating and made sure we had fully equipped bikes for the day, even though we were in the off season and a bit out of the way. The prices were fair and Chris took care of everything. We had a wonderful time biking around the area and enjoying the scenery. Give them a call!

Brilliant day on an ebike self guided tour around the sights of Nelson. Loved Bernie collecting us, explaining the sight seeing options and giving us useful maps to guide our day. Lots to see and do. We thoroughly enjoyed a full day, mainly on bike tracks and not roads. Then Bernie collected our bikes in the late afternoon from the Boatshed Cafe, where we stopped for a drink. Great day.
