Northern Rivers Rail Trail Ebike/Bike and Picnic Experience

Ride, explore and picnic your way through the Tweed Valley — starting from the Murwillumbah trailhead.

Pedals and Picnics is an e-bike and picnic experience based at the start of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail in South Murwillumbah. We combine premium comfortable e-bikes or push bikes with locally made grazing boxes and luxuary picnic setups so you can ride the trail at your own pace and stop anywhere for your own private picnic.

Choose from our popular E-Bike and Picnic Experience — standalone e-bike or push bike hire, a luxury Destination Picnic set up and waiting for you along the trail, or our Farmers Market Experience where we take you to the markets and you select your own produce before you ride.

Based at the Murwillumbah trailhead. Our grazing boxes are made fresh with produce from local farms, makers and growers across the Tweed region.

Responsible Packaging

We use sustainable, compostable and recyclable packaging across all our picnic setups and grazing boxes. Enjoying the trail means looking after it too.
