Bike It Now! is a passionate tour operator that offers self-guided tours focused on great itineraries, flexibility and the personal touch. Tours can include all transfers, accommodation and bike hire.
The cycle tour operator has been based in historic Clyde for 10 years now, and is locally owned and operated by Duncan, Lisa and Fletch.
Their Merida conventional bikes and e-bikes are super comfortable, easy to ride, and perfect for the Lake Dunstan trail's terrain. There are a range of tours on offer, from "one-day wonders" to multi-day rides combining the Great Rides in Otago.
With three great retail, workshop and hire locations at Three Parks in Wanaka, 6 Barry Avenue in Cromwell and 25 Holloway Street in Clyde, Bike It Now! can cater for all your cycling needs, from that new purchase to advice on local rides.
One-day wonder
This ride has two very different sections, Old Cromwell to Cornish Point. It's a great Grade 1 ride along Lake Dunstan and the Kawarau River. Visit the vineyards, cafes and hotels along the way. Once you pass Cornish Point the trail changes to Grade 2/3.
Your "one-day wonder" begins at our Clyde Bike Shop on Holloway Street with your bike fitting and tour briefing at 9.30am. We then transfer you to Old Cromwell Town to the start of the trail to begin your ride. You will have all day to enjoy this amazing trail, and plenty of time to stop for a bite to eat and something to quench your thirst.
Cost: From $100/adult
Duration: Allow 4-6 hours
