Burkes Cycles

4.5(228 reviews)

About

In North Island, Burkes Cycles is a bike rental business at 16 Coutts Street, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand. The venue sits in the Kilbirnie suburb of Wellington, a compact city at the southern end of the island, and its working week opens early for riders collecting bikes before the day begins.

Doors open at 08:30 from Monday to Wednesday and Friday, with Thursday extending to 19:00 for anyone needing a later handover. Saturday trading runs 09:00 to 16:00, and Sunday keeps the same 10:00 to 16:00 hours. A 4.5 out of 5 average across 228 reviews places Burkes Cycles among the better-reviewed rental outfits in the Wellington area, and the business maintains its own site at http://www.burkescycles.co.nz/.

Kilbirnie sits close to Wellington's eastern bays and the airport side of the city, so a bike collected here puts riders onto routes around the harbour without crossing the whole city first. The Thursday late finish and weekend hours suit visitors who want a full day in the saddle rather than a quick spin.

Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, so riders sharing the road should expect the same left-hand flow. Local cooking leans on lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish, and the long, narrow island shape means the coast is rarely far from any route.
