About The Cyclery
The Staff
The Cyclery is proud to have a team that quite simply, love bikes.
[Click the photos to enlarge.]
Lead by owner James Smith, a proud Dad and husband to Wendy loves cruising with the family and the competing in recreational races, it's about getting out there doing it. James is also focused on making sure The Cyclery supports local bike events and upcoming riders and is delighted to have the likes of Thomas Prestidge riding in Cyclery Team gear, along with other fantastic top local riders.
Andrew Lawry, perhaps New Zealand's longest serving bike mechanic, and boy does this dude know everything about bikes. Pretty much if Andrew can't fix it, it wasn't worth fixing anyway. This chap knows all the models dating back before well..... Anyway, Andrew is well up to speed with all the modern technology and is another one of our great staff that is a Shimano approved bike mechanic – he's our Bob the Builder, bike dude.
Shane Simms, another one who is also a proud Dad. Was heavily in to mountain biking and downhill riding, but now struggles doing this with the baby seat on the back! Shane does however still get time to get out for that all important ride to pull wheelies, skidders and have fun being a kid on a bike. Shane is one of our top mechanics, and is also Shimano accredited. Shane also works on the shop floor and has extensive knowledge on bikes and how to set up your bike for your individual needs, really adding to the overall experience at The Cyclery.
Nicola Howes, well what do we say about Nicola.... If not, close to it, being born on a bike and having been around bikes since she could move, let alone crawl! Nicola is a highly competent mountain biker and ranked in the top 2 in South Canterbury. Get this, even for her down time Nicola likes to compete in Adventure Racing! Nicola has huge knowledge in both road and mountain and will look after your individual needs when choosing your next bike. Nicola also has a strong knowledge in our huge range of sports supplements, so if you are looking for that extra boost, come in and check us out!
Mick Saunders, he's a pom..... but we don't hold that against him. Mick was ranked in the top 10 (6th) in the UK for time trialling so when you want to discuss road bikes, he's you man. Mick is one of our team of staff that assembles bikes and is also there to help you find the perfect bike for your ultimate riding experience.
About Us
Because we are locals and love riding we take care in selecting the right bikes for the region. However we also love to ride away from home so we have a huge selection of bikes for all terrain and all cycling requirements.
Each bike, has been selected for our local market and is then professionally built by our team of mechanics. Each mechanic signs off that he has completed all checks and the bike is running well. And to ensure a premium quality service the bike is then checked again by another one of our professional team and also signed off by them. No buy it in the box and figure it out how it goes together problem here!
We have a dedicated kids area with a sizing platform and guide to help put your child on the best bike. We also have a great selection of kids accessories to help you funk up that next kids bike. Check out our massive range of kids bikes from the whipper snapper 16" alloy – you know that first bike you had, through to some outstanding 24 "bikes to help educate your child on gears and make riding with the family a simple pleasure of life.
We love bikes and seeing our customers out there riding. We know competing isn't for everyone, but enjoyment is, so come on in and check out South Canterbury's biggest selection of bikes for you and your family. We are here to help and make you feel relaxed about your next bike purchase or just to give you some helpful friendly bike riding tips and where to ride.
And its not just bikes, we have all the accessories to go with it – pumps, tubes, bike bags, puncture repair kits, cycle tops (and not just tight fitting lycra budgey smugglers either, full sizes guys), helmets and shoes, and the range is HUGE.
Sports supplements and performance drinks and bars are also a huge part of our store. We know you want to ride the best you can and we want to help you out so we stock the best in sports nutrition and performance supplements.
The Cyclery – for the ride of your LIFE!
