Google Photos reminded me about our visit to the Adventure Cycles 12 years ago! It was a great suport before and after our journey throughout NZ! Mr. Bruce used to employe people from abroad so they can get used to english language and also learn about bikes. Awesome atitude. Hope you all are very well!!!

Lots of great options, great service. Helped us with a problem other bike shops wouldn't help with. Identified problems other stores didn't pick up on. Opt to repair ahead of replacing/buying new. On street parking on neighbouring streets. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Assisted with buggy wheel also.

Best bike shop in Auckland - Bruce and the team do an incredible job of keeping cyclists on the road and upskilling the next generation of bike enthusiasts. They've got a seemingly endless variety of hard to find parts and a solution to any problem. I came in with two very old seat posts that didn't fit and Bruce was happy to trade me (+ a small fee) for one that did.

Great service from Andy and Bruce who fixed up a burst tyre there and then to get us back rolling straight away. Don't be put off by the eclectic mix of bikes and parts about the yard, these guys know their stuff and have to be among the best at keeping old loved bikes on the road. Wholly recommended - we'll be back soon with more bikes to fix.

We showed up just prior to closing and Bruce and his team were extremely helpful even with so many others at the shop at the time. They have a wide selection of parts and a plethora of knowledge. If you’re a cyclist and in this neck of the woods, I highly recommend dropping through Adventure Cycles. These guys love what they do and deserve all the support they can get. Thank you guys! Look forward to seeing you next time!

Some bikes were of good quality, some were old, rusty and would have been better off in the trash.

This is a real bike shop! Not a soulless franchise taking your money offshore. The owner "Bruce" has a great ethos. He has kids learning real life skills and he isn't afraid to let them learn. This can mean the service is a little ad hoc (give the kids a chance) and Bruce can be a bit grumpy. Personally I like his honesty. He has a wealth of knowledge and a mass of recycled parts. This place has saved me a lot of money and the planet a lot of carbon.

We bought two bikes from Adventure Cycles with the buyback scheme, toured around NZ and sold them back to Bruce. We were very happy with this scheme, as the price is very competitive. The staff, young and old, is very helpful. We also enjoy to see that adventure cycles is a place where young and old can learn. We found the methods of the business very effective, compared to other cyclist shops (I have been to many many many :) ). It could be that this method does not work for all clients. I would want to say to future clients buying a second-hand bike that it is of importance to realize what you are buying: as when buying a second-hand bike, you are also buying its history. For people who are interested in history this shouldn't be a problem ;). In our case, it helped that we knew a lot of the basics of bike repair. In addition, it helps to give the bikes a spin for a few days, and discuss any potential faults with them. Lastly, we found their repair skills to be of a very high level. We also want to state that giving this venture a very low rating seems to be a bit unfair, given the ecological and social commitment of the business. I would ask people that read this, and are ready to give a very low rate, ask yourself: Is this type of shop something for you?

Competitive pricing + location + great service + attentive staff. Fantastic! Thanks again. Danny

Went there for some bike repair work. Bruce was professional and knowledgeable. He worked on the issue on the spot right away and fee they charge for repair and installation of bike kickstand is very reasonable too. Will go back for all future bike repair/service for sure.

N. M.

Passionate, professional and skilled bunch of staff, which is what you need in a bike shop! Really helpful and means avoiding unnecessary costs. Heaps of second hand bikes in the yard and they can order in more incl new. Recommended

K. J.

My husband needed a commuter bike to ride while he waits (months) for his new bike to arrive from the manufacturer overseas. Adventure Cycles was able to fit him with a good bike at a good price to bridge the gap. They have a buy back guarantee, and gave us three free services for the bike. The next day they also helped us get the the (stuck) peddles off his old bike so he can clip onto the new one, no charge.

T. J.

Cannot recommend enough. I've used these guys for several bike transports from Auckland down to Wellington and they have been nothing but outstanding. Easy to deal with, bloody accommodating, and great communication throughout. They know their bikes too! Thanks guys!

M. R.

Bought a customised second hand red Giant bike recently at this shop. Great experience. The staff at this bike shop are very friendly and helpful and know a lot about bikes. Asked them to make a few changes to the bike and they were accommodating. Also offer free servicing and warranty. Will definitely go back again. If you are looking for a good bike shop for reasonably priced second hand bikes and decent service I would look no further.

L. L.

Great bike shop especially a young worker Ollie he treated me well on my arrival. Definitely recommend if you want a good bike service.

C.

Absolutely amazing service! I got a puncture fixed as well as a maintenance class and was blown away by how genuine the people were. The inner tube was the fraction of the price it would cost me anywhere else and was installed quickly. On the maintenance coarse I got one on one for 2 hours going over the ins and outs of my bike, while giving it a full service. That cost me a grand total of $12. All in all I couldn't recommencement this shop enough.

M.

I can't comment on the quality of their bikes so I've given a generous 3. Contacted them 6 weeks before my trip and was offered an excellent rental deal for a 1 month trip. Tried to contact again 2 weeks before I arrived ( from UK) and was met with silence. Tried several times more using ALL their various events mail addresses. Continued to try whilst ensuring route. Bruce eventually responded on Christmas Eve. By which time I had made alternative , non cycling, arrangements. Feel very disappointed and let down. I'm sure you are doing your best Bruce but if you decide you want to do business "online" the you have to be reliable. I won't be risking this firm on any future trips. Sorry. Malcolm

I love that this place is basically a recycling centre, and it's great the way they employ keen young teenagers to learn the trade of fixing and maintaining bikes. Our repair ended up being more extensive than we thought but the extra cost and parts were politely communicated by text. The future needs more places like this.

G. R.

Great team and good idea of having kids around helping doing the work. No problem doing my minor adjustment to the pedals. Will definitely come back again.

V. P.

Good honest folk - definitely recommend for any bike repairs

J. S.

Great shop for bikes, good quality for an affordable price. The staff also provides you with safety and legal advice if you're a foreigner who is not familiar with NZ bicycling (like mandatory helmets or whatever). The buyback option's definitely awesome if you're planning to stay in NZ only for a few months!

M. B.

Bruce was really helpful sourcing the part I needed. It was at a very reasonable price, and arrived faster than expected. Was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. As is clear from other reviews, the shop isn't to everyone's taste. I loved it; a veritable treasure trove of parts. I'll definitely be shopping here again!

A. B. J.

My only disappointment was not visiting this store earlier. I've been building up a bike on a budget for the past few months and having to search high and low for cheap parts and tools. Visiting Adventure Cycles, I felt like a kid in a candy store. They had every spare part I could imagine in stock and their second hand prices are by far the cheapest I've found anywhere in Auckland. I praise their customer service as they sold me one of their own tools (for a steal) when the alternative they had in stock didn't work for my exact set up. If it's parts or tools you need, I highly recommend this store. Don't let the appearance scare you away, because they've got the cheapest and widest selection of used parts I've seen. I will definitely be returning if I need anything else.

Bruce and his team are nice and helpful. We rented two bikes for touring for a month and they did their job perfectly. Also Bruce was very helpful when i had to come back to Auckland to exchange some of the stuff from my bags that i left with him, as he picked me up on the edge of the city, let me exchange my stuff and then drove me to the city center which is where I had to go. The only point of criticism would be, that we had to wait for quite a while till our bikes were ready. So if you want to hire a bike here, you should plan in to wait for a couple of hours. Apart from that perfect and cheap bike shop for rentals. Would rent again.

V. B.

Great experience hiring bikes from these guys - and much cheaper than anywhere else I enquired in Auckland! Had a few probs with one of the bikes when we took it out so couldnt use it for the time we needed unfortunately but they were really apologetic when we took it back and offered a free rental another time - cant say fairer than that! The place looks crazy as there is bikes everywhere so not everyones cup of tea but dont judge a book by its cover - really great solid service, thank you!

R. V.

A unique place. Like their philosophy - recycle & reuse. Can take a while to get things done as they are usually training a number of youngsters, but worth it. Very reasonable prices especially for kids bikes. They upgrade the bike to a bigger size one cheaply.

M. G. B.

Sunday of a long weekend and we needed a tyre inner tube for the 8yo's bike. Sorted within minutes, tube, tools, pump supplied to allow us to replace it easily and also cheap and affordable. 8yo was stoked!

T. R. K.

Helpful, polite and attentive staff who helped me to learn tuning gear, fixing tires and break!

L. C.

After reading all the reviews I am really excited to check out this bike shop. It sounds like my kind of place. Not about glitz and glam but straight goods and knowhow for those willing to spend the time to absorb it. I feel the need to give this place 5 stars based on reviews to balance out the person who gave a 1 star review also simply based on reviews. Life is all about balance and it seems this shop has a healthy balance of ethics, knowledge and drive. They stand by their work and as a result, I will stand by them, if only with my dollars in hand.

We were coming to New Zealand for a month and wanted to do some of the bike trails. It was too much effort to bring our own bikes but on contacting Adventure cycles found that if we bought bikes from them, that they'd buy them back from us at half price. The whole procedure went really smoothly! We arrived in Auckland went & picked out 2 bikes, bought them, spent a month cycling our little legs off and then took them back! We have been thrilled with the experience & would highly recommend it! It was a fraction of the cost of hiring the bikes and we had the freedom of using our bikes if & when we wanted! (Worked well for us as we did bring a small portable car bike rack with us and had a hire car) Thanks Bruce and the team who helped us out from the first concept! It was so easy and we've had sooo much fun!

K. P.

best bike shop in the world, certainly one of a kind! The staff is always helpful. Very good prices and service. Nice to go to a place where the people are truly passionate about bikes and care about safety.

S. M.

I now know where im going for all my bike repairs! Awesome team running the place I went in just to get cycling shoes and the boys checked my bike out and gave it a service as it was my 1st road bike. Helped me what to do and what not to do as it was my 1st time. Went in for shoes and came back with a lot more! Recommend adventure cycles to all! A+++++++👍

L.

Terrible Service, they tried to steal my bike and my child

N. C.

Super helpful to slot in a service of three bikes before we went away for Christmas. I thought the service price was fair and I was super stoked to get it done one the spot. Thanks we will use your repair shop again. Central location at Pt Chevalier, Auckland is close to us 👍👍

N. B.

Fantastic service! They let me borrow an allen key to tighten my crank bolt so I could ride home without it falling off. They were super friendly and helpful👍

J. S.

Had bought new wheels, new chain set after suffering a crash - from BikeBarn. Worst fix job - chain was grinding, gears stuffed and nothing working properly - was fed up went to Adventure Cycles - they saved my sanity and fixed EVERYTHING. The chain is so perfect doesn't matter what gear I am in - the bike is perfect - never ever going back to Bike Barn again

L.

very good convenient bike shop with very helpful young workers. i believe one of them was named Louis pagonis he is very cool and good at fixing bike. also the man himself jeffery liu works here he is very kind as he gave me free milk when i went there. very great service from mr jeffery liu and the man himself louis pagonis, would highly recomend

T. F.

Awesome services and cost effective. I asked for checking my front brake, but they checked everything, adjusted my speed system, brakes and wheels. And the price is half of other bike shops I went.

G. E.

Russell really helped me today Broken gear shifter so I couldn't get home as I was stuck in the highest gear. Russell and the crew all helped to get me back on the road and home in time for dinner. Love this place. No other bike shop would have done this.

B. J.

Try one of their bike repair workshops every first Monday of the month. Helpful and friendly team will help you fix up your bike for an amazing price!

C. M.

Have an open mind when coming here, it might not be the service or shopping experience you are used to, but the guys here will do what they can to get you on the road without breaking the bank. They have an extensive collection of parts new and used, it may look a bit chaotic but there is a higher chance they can put something together that will work if you are stuck on the road Would use their service again

F. I.

Love the younger employees and want to thank the owner for training them up to be professionals one day they already did a fantastic job on my bike thank you

T. W.

Bruce is committed to cycling & helping keep people riding. This bike shop is not the biggest or most expensive, but probably the most practical in Auckland. Adventure Cycles continues to provide affordable options, can service or repair almost anything, and provides the best-value rentals for cycle touring & backpackers.

P. T.

Have visited this place a few times now with fixing my pram and always a delight dealing with them.. great service & great people!! Definitely recommend to all

P. C.

Bruce O'Halloran went abou quietly and methodically installing a carry rack on the trunk of my rental Mazda Demio. All great, then he supplied a reconditioned hybrid which I have taken all round North island. Supplied a bag of tools and spare tube but to date no need for any. The best way to have a hire bike for your travels

l.

Awesome team, so helpful. Shout out to Charlie for his friendly service & efficient minor repair while I waited.,

K.

I just happened to be around the area this morning as something was up with my bike. The staff we're really helpful and so friendly. I will definitely recommend this place & will come again even though i live the the other side of city.

R. G.

Great simple bike shop

s. y.

great shop for basic work, recycling parts, sourcing obsolete parts, the support charity bikes for refugees, so i donate may spares to them; not the place for advanced /latest model/ expensive repairs though as they are always training up new mechanics; i rate 4/5 for all round good guy / basic /recycle type repair work

J.

I did some work experience here a few years back. Nice little bike shop that will do repairs.

S.

I like the idea of having young workers, it is good they are learning and they are very nice and polite.

K. C.

These guys are always great. Passionate about cycling and can cater for the basic cyclist to the more advanced, highly recommend.

T. P.
