Start your Nelson ride from Cycle Nelson’s Tāhunanui base at 70 Beach Road, just moments from Tāhunanui Beach. From here you can roll straight onto the Great Taste Trail, cruise the coast at your own pace, set off on a multi-day cycling adventure through Nelson Tasman or take the cargo bike and tandem and make it a family day out.
The Great Taste Trail heads out towards Richmond, Māpua and beyond. It's relaxed coastal riding with vineyards, cafés and coastal views along the way or enjoy easy, flat rides along Nelson’s waterfront into Nelson city centre.
