Central Cycle Trails

I had a super easy experience riding the trail after hiring a bike from CCT at Clyde. I returned my bike at middlemarch and took their shuttle back to Dunedin which was convenient and efficient. The bike itself was great, and the spacious dry pannier bags were perfect.

We loved our 5 day cycle tour of the Otago rail trail booked through Cycle Surgery. The ebikes were top notch, comfortable and easy to use. The accommodation was fantastic, including historic buildings, and we even had dinner bookings and transfers to restaurants each night. It was a pleasure to leave our bags each morning, zoom off on our bikes, and find our bags waiting for us at the next stop. The staff were all fun, chatty and interesting. We found the app really useful for our itinerary (including lunch recommendations) and for up to date information about the trail and conditions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others, and in fact already have.

Brilliant trip and experience. The Cycle Surgery team made it very easy and had us well sorted. Awesome bikes too - comfy and great on all surfaces (we just had standard bikes, not e bikes). Food and wine along the way was great!

I can’t say enough about this team. From our initial booking and having a tailor made package for the four of us which suited our needs and budget. We opted for a more expensive package which included the Taieri Railway trip to Middlemarch to start the track and great accomodation for 3 nights from the options offered us. You choose what you want and pay accordingly which suited us fine. Loved the ability of just turning up on day 1 and being able to ride with bikes already sorted and accomodation already prebooked. As we had just come off 3 days on the Routeburn Track we also had the problem of getting all or packs and gear from accommodation to accomodation each night but that was no problem to Cycle Surgery and it arrived at each destination before us each day. From our first contact with them all our queries were answered and promptly- nothing was too hard and if we do the trail again we would use them again. On the completion of the trail and getting transported back to Queenstown we got an excellent commentary from Lonnie about places of interest along the way and showed the value of staff who are engaged with their work as opposed to just turning up each day. I researched service providers on Google before booking and also spoke with friends who had done the Rail Trail and used Cycle Surgery before and went with them. So glad we did and after our experience with them and the comprehensive package and services they offer we highly recommend them.

Unfortunately for us, we didn't book our hire bikes and rail trail tour through Cycle Surgery, otherwise things may have been a bit smoother! We did, however, book a transfer from Dunedin to Middlemarch (with John - what a great guy) to start the rail trail and a jet boat ride out of Alexandra with Lawrence! Lucky we did, as our trip was cut short due to flooding and it was Cycle Surgery to the rescue with a scenic trip with Dave from Middlemarch back to Dunedin.Cycle Surgery have great facilities and a huge variety of hire bikes for all levels - they cater for day trips on ebikes, adventures on MTBs, or longer trips for those bike packing! They know all there is to know about getting the most out of the time you have and value your holiday time as much as you do! Their business model is all about your happiness and that is very evident in all our dealings with the staff.When we come back to finish the Roxburgh and Clutha Gold trails, we will definitely be booking through Cycle Surgery!

Great service. Used cycle surgery for bike hire and shuttle services and planned the trip myself, no issues with doing this. Bikes were comfortable and we got some great commentary on the scenery and local history during the shuttle rides.

A perfect trip well planned by Cycle Surgery.I had the idea for a surprise getaway culminating in a romantic proposal but didn't know where to start.One email to Pip at Cycle Surgery and she had it all sorted.3 beautiful and very different nights accommodation.Fantastic meal bookings.Car transfer.The most comfortable bikes we have ever ridden.And the special touch of organizing Champagne and Flowers to be set up in our Accommodation.Thanks to Pip and the team.It was such a pleasure to have people that are so passionate about what they do help us with our special weekend.

4 day ride was perfect, a group of 13 people was so much fun and great weather with spectacular views. Cycle Surgery provided awesome bikes and fantastic backup, we had one tyre blow out and they fixed it with in 1/2hr. Amazing

Every aspect of the service from Cycle Surgery was excellent from start (in 2019 for a March 2020 trip that got called off) to finish (rebooked for Feb 2021 and in the opposite direction - and a marvellous experience). We would unreservedly recommend them - whether you are an experienced cyclist or a newbie. The Rail Trail is wonderful, we will do it again hopefully and if we do we will be on the email to Pip at Cycle Surgery
