A bike shop at 468 Papanui Road in Papanui, Christchurch has been trading since 1938. The shop describes itself as a one-stop bike shop for cyclists of all levels. It sells road and commuter bikes and electric bikes, along with cycle clothing and shoes, gear, bags and panniers, bottle cages and hydration, frame protection, parts and fittings, and scooter parts. The brands listed include Redline, Lapierre, Kona, Apollo, Radius, Merida, Surly, Tineli, Continental and Velectrix. There is a repair and service area on site.
Customers mention electric bikes most often, followed by bike repair and new tyres. One customer says they had given up on getting a bike repaired, because other shops were too busy or only offered an appointment weeks away, and was surprised when Papanui Cycles could help. Another says the team was knowledgeable and efficient, and got their bike sorted quickly at a reasonable price. A third took an electric bike in with broken spokes, and says the wheel was sourced and rebuilt within 24 hours, with two more parts replaced. That is Pushbikes Papanui, 0.2 km away.
