Traveler Reviews

Wellington is surprisingly very bike friendly, lovely bays to bike around (all very different), great cafes along the way, views, everything. The bike was perfect, came with a sturdy locking chain, large zip pannier, helmet, gloves. The seat was wide and comfortable. Very good map (although the print was very small) and excellent instructions from the staff member.,

Efficient staff member gave great explanations. Found bike easy to use and went much further than originally had planned to. Fabulous way to get around the city

What an OUTSTANDING day! We are not regular cyclists but felt totally prepared and expertly instructed and went on to have a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole day. The bikes were of excellent quality and we felt safe and visible. I didn't want to give the bike back - I loved the day so much. We would thoroughly recommend Switched On Bikes wholeheartedly. Thank you.

Great day out. The lady at the bike hire place was excellent - good advice about where to go and about the bike itself. The bike did everything I asked it to - plent of additional power to get up the hills! I got an option to have lunch at the Chocolate Fish Cafe - would totally recommend it - a lovely little cafe.

The bike was of high quality and fulfilled my expectations. I would rent fromswitched on bikes again
