Wondering what to do today? It's a stunning day to drop by our store on the Wellington Waterfront to grab a couple of bikes and cruise Welly's wonderful bike paths.

You can ride easy bike paths toward the airport and there are great cafes to refuel at along the way. We'll give you the best locals tips in store.

We have all sizes and styles of bikes that are easy to ride. Easy! Get out and enjoy the sun.

We're a couple of minutes from Te Papa on the water's edge by Waitangi Park.

There's a new bike in our showroom! The new Touring Hybrid from Cube feels and looks great.

It's got everything you want in a commuter for Welly and some extra little bonuses.

The first thing is that it's the Bosch Performance Line motor for good power and long lasting quality. It's the Smart System so it connects to your phone with cool features.

It has wide high-volume tyres for a really comfortable ride.

The front suspension fork has a coating that prevents rust- such a good thing for our salt air! Keeps your bike looking and feeling good for longer.

It comes with the Shimano Cues drive train for reliable shifting.

$5599
It's available in Glacier White or we can order in and Black, too.

We're a Workride provider.

The cycle path is finished! All the way from the Welly Waterfront to the Blown Away Wellington Sign you can ride without going on a road!!! 🥳

For those of us who ride it everyday we've seen the incremental improvements over over the years. But for those visiting Wellington and riding it for the first time, it's such a beautiful, high quality cycle route that it can be the highlight of their trip to Aotearoa! I think what gets people gushing, is that there are no 'dud' sections. It's so beautiful the whole way. People just don't expect it when jumping on a bike in a capital city.

AND we've seen more and more families with kids riding around the bays, because it's safe for everyone, now. It's so dang exciting!

Mānawatia Matariki, Pōneke.

Take the time to visit the waterfront this evening. It's a lovely atmosphere with art, music, fire, space for reflection and of course, good kai!

The massive projections, like Super Star Waka, make the big structures we're so familiar with come alive to tell stories.

Also, today is a nice day to ride a bike! How about an afternoon ride on Ara Tupua before a stroll along the waterfront. Bring your puffer and you'll have a great time.

See you outside, whānau!
