Here are some questions about our bike tours.

For this to occur we would have a weather forecast for Hastings district showing rain in excess of 1.5mm per hour for two or more hours or winds in excess of 30 km/h during the period of 11am to 4pm on the booked date. These readings are taken from the MetService website: http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/hastings. Please note, Napier and Hastings have different forecasts and can experience different weather on the day.

If the weather doesn’t look enticing for a bike ride, please call us first to confirm the forecast. Weather is rarely as bad as it looks, so give us a call first if you don’t intend to come or you may lose your deposit or be charged the full amount.

If the winery tour cannot go ahead we will either try to accommodate you on another day (subject to availability) or give a refund.

Most of the time during the week you can turn up and we will have bikes available.

We will always try to accommodate where we can, but don’t be surprised if you turn up without a booking and we have no bikes available.

If you cancel within 24 hours of your booking, we reserve the right to keep all money paid. If you don’t show up by 12 noon on the booking day (unless by prior arrangement) your booking will be cancelled and we will retain all money paid.

If your cancellation is due to bereavement or health reasons will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

If On Yer Bike cancel the day’s tour for any reason, we will return the deposit or give a refund. See section on cancellation for details.

Cancellation after commencement of booking: You will receive no refund once you have turned up and taken the bike out.

This very much depends which day you come on and we cannot guarantee that you will get to all of them. Generally during the summer months (Oct to Easter) you can visit 7 wineries on the weekends and 5-6 wineries on weekdays. Over the winter months (from easter to October) this is reduced to 3-5 wineries from Wednesday to Sunday. We publish a chart on the front page of current wineries that are open.

If your group is larger than 10 people then tasting fees may be  non-refundable.

We do not allow overnight camping in our car park.

If you fail to do so, we reserve the right to charge you $5 per person for every half hour you are late. If this is not paid by the individual on return, we will recover it from the person who made the initial booking.

If you leave or abandon your bike at any of the wineries and do not return the bike to our base we will charge $30 per bicycle recovery fee. You will be liable for the cost of any bike(s) if stolen before we can recover it. If this is not paid by the individual on return, we will recover it from the person who made the initial booking.
