FS Cycles, at 2 Serlby Place in Porirua City Centre, is a locally owned, father and son bike shop that focuses on servicing, repairs and upgrades for BMX, mountain, downhill and e-bikes. The shop sells men's, women's and kids' bikes, accessories, spare parts and tyres. Its servicing packages are set out on the website, and customers can bring a bike to the workshop or pop in for a chat. The head mechanic is an experienced mountain biker who is Shimano and Bosch certified. The shop also runs bike instruction for young riders and talks through bike setup with customers.
Customers most often mention the bike servicing, along with the welcoming team. One reviewer had an unusual request dealt with on the day, and found the staff helpful and not condescending. Another says the team set up a first big-kid bike for their son and made him feel like a VIP. A third had a bike tuned at a reasonable price. Several reviewers mention the head mechanic as their regular go-to for servicing and advice. Our pick in Porirua for a bike service from a shop whose head mechanic knows the local trails.
