Old Blue Bikes is a bike shop at 39 David Carnegie Rd, Beach Haven, North Shore City, rated 5.0 by visitors.
A shop dealing in used or refurbished bikes offers a different value proposition to a new-bike retailer, since a well-serviced secondhand bike can be a fraction of the price of new while still riding properly, provided the bearings, gears and brakes have been gone over properly first. Regulars know to ask what work has actually been done on a used bike before buying, rather than assuming it has been fully checked over. A shop that also repairs bikes tends to be handy for keeping an older bike going for years longer than it might otherwise last, which suits anyone not wanting to replace a bike at the first sign of wear. Bringing a bike in for a basic check-up before a big ride is generally a good habit, secondhand or not.
In Beach Haven on Auckland's North Shore, Old Blue Bikes is a local option for bikes and repairs.
