Get Fixed is a bicycle workshop, cafe and bar at 20 Parumoana Street in Porirua's city centre, now in the Kai Tahi complex near the harbour edge. It began in a garage, and in 2018 the owners, Simon and Ange, moved to a converted shipping container on the harbour edge. The workshop services all makes of bike, does e-bike conversions and custom wheel builds, and the website says the business is part workshop, part community cafe.
The cafe serves organic coffee, Panhead ales on tap, bagels, burgers and food made with local produce, and the venue is fully licensed.
