“Biking is ‘huge’ in New Zealand,” so says Christine White, general manager of Central Cycle Trails in Clyde, one afternoon weeks ago as we talked while the signs of winter began to roll in.

“Huge” is not an exaggeration to describe the following of biking there. On the road and outside residences, you see about one in every three vehicles with bike racks. In the town of Clyde in Central Otago, people of all ages – locals and visitors – are on bikes. Outside coffee shops and restaurants, there are bike parking racks. At the gelato ice cream shop, I stood outside with a woman in her 80s, holding a cone of ice cream with one hand, and clutching her bike with the other.

Central Cycle Trail ladies who know bikes well: Christine White, general manager of Central Cycle Trail Co., Sonia Keogh, Sue Attwood. In her job, she’s met people of all ages, and from all walks of life, who came just to ride a trail, many of them attracted by the Lake Dunstan Trail, which she calls “the diamond of trails.”
