Welcome to the Human Powered Cycles website.
Human Powered Cycles is an independent bike shop located at 562 High St. Thornbury (that’s in Melbourne – for those of you browsing from afar…).  You can find out more about how to find us here.
We stock a range of quality commuting bikes, long distance tourers, vintage and retro style cycles and kids bikes. Our range is selected to cater for cyclists who like to get by without using cars as much as possible; people who want their bikes to last a long time …

Gday Folks,
A strange thing happens at this time of year when otherwise enthusiastic and, dare we say, zealous cyclists stop riding their bikes!

Check out the full range of Jamis bikes over at their website or come down this weekend to see some of their bikes in person and even go for a test ride!

We’ve just received a big bunch of Lazer helmets in stock, and just in time for Christmas! We got a few different styles from their range in stock so there’s likely to be something for almost everybody.

And so comes the time of year that we need to go and spend time with our families and ride our bikes as much as we can! Due to this, we will be closed from Christmas Day and re-open on the 2nd of January. We will be open up until 4pm on Christmas Eve so if you need to do any last minute present buying, you’ll have up …
