We take pride in creating a well-oiled workplace. We’re a tight knit crew who work together to make our customers' experience as bright as possible. We care about quality in what we do and the products we sell. We believe in hiring enthusiastic, passionate people who understand that it takes a team to create something great. We each come to the table with a particular skill or strength and support each other to succeed.
As a business we have a responsibility to our community to treat people right. For our staff this translates to good rates of pay and a good work environment. We were one of the first 10 living wage accredited businesses in Aotearoa and we continue to be at the leading edge of industry pay-rates and perks. We also invest in the right equipment and resources so you have the tools to do good work.
We’re always on the hunt for people we’d like to work with. It’s not always about a particular role that might need filling; it's usually about finding someone with a particular set of skills or experience that helps to round the business and fill the gaps in what we want to achieve. As we continue to grow we’re on the hunt for those personalities and skills that we want to work with and who want to work with us.
The bike industry is in a golden time when people are reawakening to the beauty of transport by bike. We’ve been at the forefront of cycle transport in Aotearoa for the past 10 years. The next 10 years will see enormous changes in both bike technology and local cycling infrastructure, leading to cycling becoming a primary transport mode for many, if not most urban centres. This is our time and we’d love to work with passionate people who want to bring this change to communities in Aotearoa.

We’re not always looking for a particular person to fill a particular role with a fixed set of skills. Hiring is dynamic and we might find two people with contrasting skills and experience who, together, combine their strenghts make an effective team. So instead we’re looking for attributes, skills and experience that allow us to create a patchwork of talented people who complement each other and can flex between roles.
You may be very strong in just one of these elements or be pretty good at several. The attributes that are most important to us may also change over time depending on our staffing dynamic or the projects we have upcoming. We'd love to hear from you if you have the skills we're looking for and you'd like to work in an environment where your input makes a difference.

We hire from a variety of backgrounds and industries. The beauty of cycling is that you don’t need to be a specialist bike guru - just a person who rides bikes. You might be in another industry wishing to transition or you might just be a Mum or Dad returning to part time or full time work. A common thread might be that you wish to feel part of a small team where your role makes a direct difference to the business, your coworkers and our customers.. You'll also have some skills that can be transferred or translated to what we do.

Annie started with us as a part-time Barista almost three years ago. it wasn't long until she found herself helping out on the store side, stocking shelves and then talking to people about bikes. Now, we couldn't imagine how the store would run without her as she pretty much runs the shop side and ensures all our customers are kept up to date.
