As a service-oriented shop we're always keen to get real customer reviews. Michael and Sonja were keen on a pair of new e-bikes, and took the plunge on a pair of top-of-the-range Pedegos - an orange Interceptor and a Seafoam Green cruiser. Michael writes: "I am really enjoying the Pedego bike. It makes the commute from Sawyers Bay to South Dunedin so enjoyable, so much fun in fact that I didn’t use the car for 3 weeks. The bikes always attract attention wherever we stop and are a pleasure to ride, even if the Southerly wind is howling down the harbour. The hills also don’t bother us, as we went up Upper Junction Road and over to Waitati for a coffee...
We've got in a new range of helmets from Park & Urban experts TSG - available in child, youth, and adult sizes. For now these are just available in store, not online... People often ask us what size helmet their child needs. Rather than going by age, we think it's best to measure your child's head (circumference just above the eyebrows) to get the best fit. Using the TSG range to illustrate this, The Nipper Mini is 48-51cm, $80, and we've got a Panda-themed one (as well as many others to order)The Evolution Youth is 52-54cm, $70, and we've got matte orange in stock The Evolution and Kraken are adult helmets, available in S/M (54-56cm) and L/XL (57-59cm), and come in all sorts...

Heard of G-Form? They have designed some pretty impressive and revolutionary protection products. Rather than your traditional rigid pads, G-Form uses an impact-reactive foam, meaning they're soft and comfortable when riding but harden upon impact, absorbing some 95% of the force. If you've ever ummed and ahhed about wearing knee/shin/elbow pads on a cruisy weeknight trail ride with your mates, or if you want a little more protection without the feeling/heat/bulk of traditional protection, then these might be for you. Don't get us wrong - the traditional Leatt/RaceFace protection we sell is comfortable and ergonomic and still the best for DH/aggressive trail riding, but the G-Form alternatives are so comfortable and slim you won't even know they're there - perfect for...
