Hi, I'll be in CHCH town for couple of days in mid January (not for pleasure but business) and I'll be needing a transport to go around the town (Avonhead, City, Bishopdale, New Brighton etc etc....).

So, is there a cheap bike rental shop in CHCH that I can probably hire for a couple of days?

I've been thinking; Bus will take some time (but cheap), Taxi will be time-saving than bus but it will cost a fortune.


If so, Do you guys think I can hire a bike (250cc)? Age of 18 + Restricted license?



If I can't find one, then I'll have to catch some buses :(

The bus service is pretty sharp in CHCH. Something like $5 per day unlimited I think?

Perhaps one has a rental dept. A 100cc Scooter would be fine cruising
the suburbs you state.

That might work... I'll search it right now

On time, little display thingys at stops to tell you how many minutes wait, don't need cash... they've got there shit pretty well together.
