About
Pedals and Picnics is an e-bike and picnic hire business set right at the South Murwillumbah trail head of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. It pairs comfortable premium e-bikes (or push bikes) with locally made grazing boxes, so you can ride the flat, car-free trail and stop for a picnic sourced from regional suppliers along the way.
The Rail Trail runs about 24km one way (48km return) on a mix of sealed and gravel surface, passing rainforest, farmland, heritage bridges and two tunnels. Options range from straight bike hire to a destination picnic set up for you on the trail, plus a farmers-market experience. The business won the 2025 Tweed Business Award for Outstanding Visitor Experience and is locally owned, with free parking on site.
