Gday Folks,
A strange thing happens at this time of year when otherwise enthusiastic and, dare we say, zealous cyclists stop riding their bikes! The roads will soon be deserted but for the lone commuter, appropriately clad in waterproofs and pushing their well maintained, albeit mud-splattered bike along the grey streets of Melbourne. And YES, good on them! Because why would you travel any other way?
 
SHOP HOURS
Which brings us to announce that we will unfortunately have to reduce our operating hours for the time being – so from this Sunday the …

We’ve been working towards it for a while now and Jamis bikes are finally here!
To start off we just got a handful of models in (Commuter 1 & 2, Coda Sport and a Bossanova) but if there’s a particular model you’re after you can let us know and we can order them in for you.
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.

Who doesn’t love a good custom built bike? Even better when it’s Australian made, right?

Ride2Work Day, Wednesday 17th of October, is fast approaching!

Interbike 2013 is upon us and all the brands are flaunting their new and updated products for the coming year.

After much interest in the training course hiatus, we’re finally bringing them back for Spring.
Courses will return starting September 10th. Info on other upcoming dates can be found on our training page.
If you’d emailed us expressing your interest in the course during its hiatus, we have emailed you back regarding the upcoming classes.

The 7th annual Brompton World Championships is taking place this weekend in the UK. After a big year in 2011, with over 750 entrants from over 30 countries, 2012 is expected to be another huge year; especially with the growth in popularity of Bromptons this year.

The Greenham recently finished their trek from Ankara to Athens. Luckily for them the only mechanical issues they encountered where one puncture, a broken chain and some minor shifting issues – but that’s pretty darn good for 2000 + kms!

The Linus range of bikes includes classic mixte and step through designs as well as men’s Roadster and Gaston models. We’ve had a reduced range for a while but we’re excited to announce that new stock of Linus bikes and products is coming in soon.
This includes new colours in the Dutchi and Mixte models…!

We’ve just received copies of The Ride Journal issue 6 .
The Ride is a mix of bicycle heritage, art, trip reports and all things bike. Amazing photography and illustrations fill many of the pages, making it visually engaging as well as packed with bicycle knowledge and stories.
The best thing is to drop in and flip through the copy we’ve got on the counter.
Happy reading!
