Hey Hamilton! Ya'll got a really nice cycle trail along the river from Ngāruawāhia to Lake Karapiro. Really nice! (self.newzealand)

For anyone curious it's the Te Awa River Ride.

Even though Hamilton tends to be the butt of jokes, we find it a pretty decent place to live. Unfortunately, the council is facing money issues and cutting back services/projects/maintenance for the coming years while we also get pretty big rates rises. I'm really hoping the place doesn't fall into disrepair :(

I haven't done the trail myself (I don't own a bicycle, hoping to change that this year!), but might try to if I get around to getting a decent bike

It's really well sign posted and easy to follow. There are some detours which are equally well sign posted. Relatively flat too.
