Nomadic Cycles is a mobile bike repair shop in Christchurch. The founder, Yaz, comes to the client, picks up the bike, looks at it with the owner and gives a quote. The bike then goes to the workshop on Orbell Street in Sydenham, and it is returned at a time that suits the owner.
The shop offers servicing and repairs for mountain, road, gravel and e-bikes, along with sales and advice. For e-bikes it works on systems from Shimano, Bosch and Bafang. It also does suspension servicing, wheel building, custom bike builds and carbon repairs. The service menu has tiers, and the top tier includes free pick-up and drop-off within five kilometres of the city centre. Payment is by mobile EFTPOS or an online invoice.
The founder started the business in 2019 after working for some of the bigger chain stores in New Zealand. He saw a gap for a more customer-focused service, and the business was built around taking expert work to the customer's door.
Six other bike shops are listed within a kilometre. Cycle Trading, which trades as Electrify NZ and is 0.2 km away, has a 4.6 rating from 76 reviews, which is the only one of the nearby shops with reviews on Open Locally.
The workshop is at 7/72 Orbell Street, Sydenham.
