Riverside Adventures - Velodrome (previously the Avanti Bike Shop)

Welcome to Riverside Adventures - Velodrome, previously known as the Avanti Bike Shop. Located in Cambridge, Hanlin Road, our institution is not just your typical bicycle store, but also a point of interest and a travel agency. Situated just minutes away from Cambridge, our spot along the Waikato River offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by lush bush and overlooked by the magnificent Maungatautari, our picturesque backyard is a sight to behold.

At Riverside Adventures, we aim to provide you with an unforgettable experience as you explore the beauty of the Waikato. Our guided tours are carefully designed to take you on a physical and spiritual journey, immersing you in the wonders of this region. And now, with our new location at the Grassroots Velodrome, the options for bike hire and packages are endless.

But that's not all - we also have a second convenient location right on the River Ride trail! Visit us at the Velodrome Cambridge, situated next door to the Bikery Cafe. Our bike shop offers a range of services, including bike servicing, rentals, tour bookings, shuttles, and even accommodation. So whether you're in need of bike maintenance or looking to embark on an exciting adventure, we've got you covered.

The bike trails around Riverside Adventures meander through the riverside and the surrounding bush, offering a unique and immersive experience. For those who prefer to explore the water, kayaking is a fantastic option. Witness breathtaking views and be amazed by the enchanting glow worms that come alive at nightfall.

Imagine reaching the end of your tour and seamlessly transitioning into your onsite accommodation. Relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature as you make the most of our region. And before or after your adventure, treat yourself to a fresh, hot coffee and a snack, or enjoy a refreshing drink while taking in the stunning view. Our lakeside coffee experience is truly one-of-a-kind.
