Cycle Nelson - formerly Gentle Cycling and Nelson Cycle Hire

For some, it’s a gentle weave between Tasman vineyards with the joy of good company. For others, it’s the thrill of carving down forested trails in the Nelson hills. For us, it’s about bringing people closer—to each other, and to this place.

Because sometimes the experience is the journey. And around here, the journey is unforgettable. 

From e-bike wine tours to guided mountain rides, or just a solid set of wheels for the day—at Cycle Nelson we make it easy for you to have an immersive and enriching experience.
About Us

EXPLORE THE REGION

Nelson Tasman is at its most breathtaking when explored on a bike with Cycle Nelson. Follow the Great Taste Trail, a 200km loop connecting Nelson, Richmond, Wakefield, Motueka, and Kaiteriteri, and take in vineyards, orchards, and sparkling coastlines along the way. 

Stop at Māpua Wharf, cruise through the historic Spooners Tunnel, or enjoy the golden sands at Kaiteriteri. Ride world-class mountain bike trails carved through native forest and mountain ridges, where epic landscapes make every turn an adventure. Whether you’re a casual rider or a keen adventurer, seeing Nelson Tasman by bike with Cycle Nelson is an unforgettable way to experience the region.
