The Cyclologist is a small, boutique bike workshop at 12B Fitzwilliam Drive in Torbay, on Auckland's North Shore. It calls itself a boutique bike workshop, not a shop, and it is not set up for volume or retail. The workshop specialises in road, mountain, triathlon, urban and e-bikes, with a focus on mid to top-end bikes, although it still works on some entry-level bikes. The team works one-on-one with each customer, and says it does not rush or take shortcuts on the work.
The two founders trained as cyclists in Colombia, and began working on bikes in New Zealand in 2015. They say they were certified as professional bike mechanics by the Shimano Academy NZ, and the workshop uses and recommends brands that it says will perform reliably over time. The workshop says it can call on a group of experts for a new challenge, and it describes its work as keeping bikes running well so their owners can ride more. For a rider with a road, mountain, triathlon or e-bike that needs careful attention, the workshop's one-on-one approach and tool-based work sets it apart.
