I've been to NZ 3 or 4 times to both the North and South Island, it will be Summer there in February. I suppose its OK to tour by bicycle, but most roads don't have street lights, and I think the entire country only has pretty much two lane undivided roads, with little to no area for bike riders. Could be wrong, but I was on a charter bus the few times I was there for movie tech scouts. Spectacular scenery.
