New research shows that not only are New Zealand's cycle trails helping get more and more people outdoors but they are also boosting the economy by $1.28 billion a year.
That spend is up 35% to the year ending June 2025 compared to 2021.
New Zealand Cycle Trails chief executive Janet Purdey joins Paddy to talk about how they hope to boost it even more.
