Eight Cycling builds its rides around mountain bikes and e-bikes. The menu runs from short free-route tours off the Banna-dake lookout and Kabira Bay to a forest downhill on Banna, a half-day farm ride for beginners and a full-day cape trail for strong riders. Those fat-tired bikes suit the farm tracks and the park roads on Banna.
