Cycle Lanes and Paths
Aucklandâs city centre is increasingly connected by safe, wellâdesigned cycleways that make commuting or exploring the waterfront simple and enjoyable. Along Quay Street and the Viaduct, riders follow a scenic route lined with harbour views and established planting, creating one of the most relaxed ways to enter the city.
Waihorotiu Path | Queen Street
Running between Aotea Square and Shortland Street, the Waihorotiu Path is a multiâuse route designed for scooters, bikes and fast movers. It gives people more space to travel through the city while acknowledging the historic Waihorotiu stream beneath Queen Street. The planting, colours and ground markings all reflect this story, creating a path that guides movement while celebrating the areaâs natural and cultural heritage. As you ride or walk through, the textures, markings and planters subtly signal that this is an active zone, distinct from the pedestrianâonly footpath.
Te Ara i Whiti | Lightpath
The bright pink Lightpath remains one of Aucklandâs most iconic cycling experiences. Built on a former motorway offramp, itâs a playful, safe connection from the Northwestern Cycleway into the city centre and a favourite spot for photos, day or night.
EcoMatters Bike Hub | Queens Wharf
The EcoMatters Bike Hub on Queens Wharf is a welcoming space for anyone who rides. They offer free access to tools and advice for basic maintenance, sell restored secondâhand bikes, and provide maps, parts and guidance for new or returning riders. Whether youâre fixing a flat or looking for your first bike, the team is there to help you build confidence and enjoy the benefits of cycling.
Bike Parking and Locky Docks
Parking your bike in the city centre is straightforward, with dedicated racks outside Aotea Square and secure Locky Dock available across the area. Locky Docks offer free, secure parking and also double as eâbike charging stations, making it easy to top up your battery before heading home.
Bikes on Public Transport
If youâre travelling from further out, bikes and scooters can be taken on most trains and ferries at no extra cost, subject to available space. Folded bikes are also welcome on buses, making it easy to combine public transport with cycling once you reach the city.
Bike Hire
For visitors or casual riders, Power to the Pedal offers highâquality eâbikes for hire along with guided tours that showcase the city from a localâs perspective. Itâs an easy way to explore the waterfront, visit galleries or enjoy a relaxed ride to lunch.
