Summer Rides, Picnic Vibes
Sunshine, fresh air, and a sense of adventure—summer in the Tweed is made for exploring. Two local entrepreneurs, Britt, owner of Pedals and Picnics and Mick, owner of Valley eBikes, are making it unforgettable with their award-winning, sustainable businesses along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. With a shared love of the outdoors, good food and supporting their local community, they’ve created experiences that combine adventure, comfort and connection to the region.
Britt: Curating Countryside Delights with Pedals and Picnics
Britt has a flair for creating memorable outdoor experiences. In 2022, she moved from the Gold Coast to Murwillumbah and launched Pedals and Picnics, blending grazing boxes, picnic gear, and bikes for exploring the lush Tweed Hinterland
countryside. Her vision was simple: to create moments where people could slow down, enjoy nature, and connect with the region’s local produce.
Her DIY Combo Deal is a highlight—two e-bikes, a picnic setup, and a grazing box for two, with five different options to choose from. It’s perfect for couples, friends, or anyone wanting a leisurely, scenic day out along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. For those seeking a truly immersive experience, Britt also offers the Farmers Market Experience on Wednesdays, where guests meet at 8 AM, enjoy a light breakfast, and select fresh market ingredients for their grazing boxes. Then it’s off to pedal the trail, surrounded by rolling hills, farmland, and lush greenery.
Mick: Leading the Way with Valley eBikes
Mick has lived in the Tweed for over 20 years and brings deep local knowledge to Valley eBikes, an e-bike hire business adored by locals and visitors alike. While Britt focuses on picnics and local cuisine, Mick ensures every ride is smooth, fun, and sustainable. From leisurely spins along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail to longer adventures, Valley eBikes makes it easy to explore the region without leaving a heavy footprint.
Mick’s fleet is 100% solar-powered, making Valley eBikes the only e-bike hire business in Northern NSW/Southern QLD with this commitment. Guests are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles, while eco-friendly practices like
biodegradable ponchos and recycled equipment reduce waste across the operation.
A Sustainable, Award-Winning Duo
Both Britt and Mick share a commitment to sustainability, community, and exceptional visitor experiences. Britt won the 2025 Tweed Business Award for Outstanding Visitor Experience, while Mick earned Highly Commended in
Excellence in Sustainable Tourism. Their accolades reflect the care, creativity, and environmental mindfulness they bring to every aspect of their businesses.
Whether you’re after a curated picnic, a scenic e-bike ride, or a combination of both, Pedals and Picnics and Valley eBikes deliver the ultimate summer escape along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. Pedal, picnic, and soak up the Tweed Hinterland’s rolling landscapes, lush farmland, and sun-drenched trails—creating memories that last long after the sun sets.
