Quick ride by bicycle from Rosebank to Auckland

This ride starts in Rosebank, a mostly industrial but up-and-coming area in West Auckland, right beside the Whau River. You’ll set off on mostly smooth, paved surfaces, with a sweet mix of concrete and asphalt under your wheels—perfect for a chill cruise or speedy commute.

The route weaves through some quiet cycleways (about 70% of your trip!), so you can enjoy a peaceful pedal while still edging closer toward the city buzz. There’s a gentle ascent—just enough to get your heart rate up without being brutal—before a rolling cruise into central Auckland. Most of the journey is on low-traffic roads, but keep an eye out for a few brief stretches on busier streets as you approach the heart of the city.

The ride ends smack in the center of Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest metropolis. Here you'll find the iconic Sky Tower, plenty of waterfront cafés, and loads to explore by bike or on foot. Perfect for anyone who wants to trade industrial views for the energy of the CBD!
