The sea wind meets the city as the group rolls away from the Waterfront, electric motors whispering while yachts and ferries cut across the harbour. Riders pedal through a wide, car-free stretch by Chaffers Dock, past Te Papa’s modern façade, and along coastal paths where the harbor seems to pull you forward.
