Reviewers mention e-bikes, the rail trail and gel seats most often. One describes a winter ride, with accommodation that had a fire each night and stops spaced well for a winter day. Another took a minibus from Clyde to Cromwell to start the Lake Dunstan trail, and says the driver was helpful and the bags arrived on time. A family with a nine-month-old and a four-year-old says the itinerary suited them, mostly flat and scenic with plenty of stops, and the gear was in good condition.
