Sometimes it is a bugger living rural

Biketranz is the best option.

Really depends on what your time is worth. Mine is worth too much to be shuttling around picking up bikes. I've done it before multiple times back when I was an unemployed "student" tho. A lot of fun for sure. Auckland -> Wellington, Auckland -> Rotorua and Auckland -> Whangers.

Only way I'd do it again was if I found a KILLER deal that would cover my transport and time costs (so a bike about 1000--1500 below market value) so I could break even when I sell it.

Going island to island and dealing with ferry bullshit is where I draw the line. Gets expensive fast.
