    Suggest you try asking on the NZ touring forum :

    But the best solution is probably to pick up and adapt a s/h bike then sell it once you get to Queenstown.

    I doubt it because most bike rental places are small independant retailers, so they won't have an outlet to drop the bike into... I'm still aiming for world domination!! :twisted:

    I'd buy a relatively cheap bike then sell it, like Noctilux says.

    You could try these guys, though they're based in Christchurch:-

    Personally I'd bring my own bike though, a rigid mtn bike fitted out with slicks and a pannier rack would be ideal.

    Depends what your priority is on time, but I wouldn't rate the chance of buying something suitable second hand on the net at short notice.

    Why don't you travel with a bike you want to sell. Then, put it on eBay for collection in the town where your tour will finish.

    Freinds of ours have had a good run hiring tandems off this company. http://www.cyclehire.co.nz/cycle_hire.htm . Have a great time.

    When are you planning on coming over. Always a spare bed for cyclist if we are home. We are at Reporoa half way between Rotorua and Taupo in the North Island.

    Enjoy your ride.
