Great day for a little bike ride... try parking at Patiti Point, and biking to Dog Park on Leckie Street and back. It's flat easy ride that our 5 year old can do on one gear, and very little riding on the road.
On the way back you can turn off to the Crows Nest, Raptor Trust (yes they have hawks there!), Eco Center and follow the bike track to the rail way, back up to the cemetery. There are gates for cars but you can walk / bike through any time.
The Dog Park playground is fenced. There is a picnic table under a community orchard of apples and pears. You could make the ride longer by going up to the Otipua Wetlands. Or shorter by parking at the car park at the south west corner of the cemetery. Today I biked to the playground with our 5 year old and met my hubby and 1 year old at the playground, then we swapped and Chris biked back.
