Around Again Cycles is a family-owned bicycle shop based at 620 Ferry Road in Woolston, Christchurch, now under new local ownership. The business has been serving the Christchurch cycling community for more than 20 years and operates under the motto Re-new, Re-use, Re-cycle — a commitment to making cycling affordable and sustainable by giving second-hand bikes a second life.
The shop specialises in refurbished second-hand bikes. Every bike sold is carefully checked, serviced, and safety-tested by experienced mechanics before it goes on the floor. This means customers can buy with confidence, knowing their ride has been properly prepared. The workshop also handles repairs and servicing for bikes already owned, with on-the-spot puncture repairs available without an appointment.
Around Again Cycles purchases second-hand bikes, offering a straightforward buy-back service with in-store valuations. Bike hire is also available, alongside a range of parts and accessories. The team prides itself on friendly, practical service and an honest approach — and actively supports the wider Christchurch cycling community, including advice on what to do if a bike is stolen.
Around Again Cycles has been part of the Christchurch cycling scene for more than 20 years. Based on Ferry Road in Woolston, the shop is a family business now under new local ownership — and its motto, Re-new, Re-use, Re-cycle, captures everything it stands for: keeping good bikes on the road, making cycling affordable, and reducing what ends up in the bin.
The business specialises in refurbished second-hand bikes. Every bike that goes on sale is carefully checked, serviced, and safety-tested by experienced mechanics before it reaches the shop floor. The result is a practical option for anyone after a reliable ride without paying new bike prices — whether that's a commuter, a student, a family, or someone just getting back on two wheels.
The workshop is at the heart of what Around Again does. Repairs and servicing are offered for all kinds of bikes, and the team is happy to share practical advice alongside the work. For riders who pick up a flat on the way past, on-the-spot puncture repairs are available — no booking required.
The shop also buys second-hand bikes. If you have a bike sitting unused, bring it in for a valuation. The buy-back service helps fund the shop's refurbished stock and gives sellers a straightforward option rather than the hassle of online listings.
Along with refurbished bikes and workshop services, Around Again stocks parts and accessories for riders who need to gear up or replace a component. Bike hire is also available for those who need a ride for a day, a week, or something in between.
The team also supports the wider Christchurch cycling community in a more practical way: if your bike is stolen, they advise contacting the police immediately, emailing Around Again with photos and serial number details, registering the bike with Project Garage 529, and posting in the Facebook group 'Stolen Bikes Christchurch and Canterbury.' It's the kind of support that reflects a shop genuinely invested in cycling in the city, not just selling bikes.
