The Gentle Cycling Company is now 15 years old. Many people have been on cycling adventures, great and small with us during this time. Whilst we love the Great Taste Trail, road rides through the Moutere to wineries and fruit farms plus family adventures to Pic’s Peanut Butter World and Mapua. We also love going into the hills and immersing ourselves in clean, green New Zealand
We have recently created the Mental Cycling branch of our business. This is not because we’re reckless and foolish, but because mountain biking through bush and over Nelsons peaky landscape has provided us with mental clarity and respite from the hamster wheel of life on so many wonderful occasions
We’re branching out into the MTB space because we want to share the region’s spectacular environmental richness through exploration on two wheels. In good times and tough times, mountain biking has given us clarity, solace and plenty of joy. Two wheels and a few tubes have helped us to connect with great people whilst we navigate the rollercoaster of life, love, failure and fantastic achievements
Our new MTB rental hub at Kaiteriteri, shuttles to the Gorge, Rameka, Heaphy and OGR (and plenty more), plus exciting Heli Biking tours are our way of trying to help people explore our slice of paradise, the Top of the South for challenges, camaraderie and connection
Please connect with us, help us grow, help Nelson Mountain Bike Club, Cable Bay, Silvan and all the other wonderful spaces with gorgeous tracks thrive so more and more people enjoy the lucid pleasures of going up and down in their own wonderful way
