Get Lost Cycling

About Get Lost Cycling

Get Lost Cycling was born out of a passion for bicycles, built from the beginning as a workshop-centric store that has grown into a local hub for cyclists. The team describes their focus simply: riding bikes, fixing bikes and chatting bikes.

The shop stocks a full range of bikes and framesets — adventure touring, electric, gravel, mountain, road and urban touring bikes — alongside a comprehensive components range covering brakes, drivetrain, frame parts, pedals, saddles and seatposts, steering and cockpit parts, suspension and rigid forks, tyres and tubes, and wheels. Featured brands include Santa Cruz, Yeti Cycles, Transition, POC and Tern.

Beyond retail, Get Lost Cycling runs a workshop offering bike servicing, including seasonal winter servicing, and takes on custom bike builds. The shop is also connected to the local riding community through involvement with the Mt Vic Enduro, and shares rider stories and adventures, including coverage of events like the Great Southern Brevet, through its journal.

Get Lost Cycling: A Workshop-Centric Bike Shop for Enthusiast Riders

Born from a Love of Bikes

Get Lost Cycling started with a simple premise: a genuine passion for bicycles. From the outset, the shop was built as a workshop-centric store rather than a pure retail operation, and that focus has shaped it into what the team describes as a local hub for cyclists. As they put it, they love riding bikes, fixing bikes, and chatting bikes — and that ethos runs through everything from the product range to the workshop out back.

A Full Range of Bikes and Frames

The shop's bike range spans adventure touring, electric, gravel, mountain, road and urban touring bikes, plus standalone framesets for riders building or upgrading a bike from the frame up. Featured brands include Santa Cruz, Yeti Cycles, Transition, POC and Tern, giving the shop a strong lineup of well-regarded names across mountain biking, gravel and folding/urban bikes.

Components and Accessories for Every Build

Beyond complete bikes, Get Lost Cycling stocks a genuinely comprehensive components range — brakes, drivetrain, frame parts, pedals, saddles and seatposts, steering and cockpit components, suspension and rigid forks, tyres and tubeless setups, and wheels. The accessories range goes further still, covering bags and racks, bike storage, bottle cages, camping gear for bikepacking trips, car racks and carriers, electronics and mounts, fenders, frame protection, lights, locks, nutrition and remedies, pumps and multi-tools, safety gear, and workshop and bike care products. Apparel and protection rounds things out with clothing, eyewear, footwear, gloves, helmets and protective gear.

A Curated Staff Picks Selection

The shop highlights a rotating Staff Picks selection, giving a sense of what the team is genuinely excited about at any given time. Recent picks have included Burgtec Penthouse Flat MK5 Pedals, SRAM's X01 Eagle 12-speed chain and GX Eagle AXS electronic transmission groupset, a range of Continental tyres across both 29" and 27.5" sizes, OneUp's dropper post and remote, and POC helmets including the Wildcat, Trace MIPS and Forefront 2 MIPS. For bikepacking specifically, picks have included the Revelate Designs Pronghorn bag and a titanium King Cage bottle cage — practical gear reflecting the shop's connection to longer-distance, self-supported riding.

The Workshop and Custom Builds

Servicing sits at the centre of what Get Lost Cycling does, with seasonal offerings like winter servicing bookable directly through the shop. Beyond routine maintenance, the team also takes on custom builds for riders wanting a bike put together to their exact specification rather than off the shelf.

Connected to the Riding Community

Get Lost Cycling isn't just a shop — it's plugged into the wider cycling community, with involvement in the Mt Vic Enduro and a journal sharing rider stories and adventures. One recent feature covered the Great Southern Brevet, a well-known fixture of the New Zealand bikepacking community, a mountainous 1100km loop through the south of the South Island — the kind of story that reflects the shop's genuine interest in where its customers actually ride, not just what they buy.

The Overall Experience

What comes through clearly at Get Lost Cycling is a shop built by riders, for riders — a genuine workshop focus, a considered product range spanning everything from complete bikes to the smallest components, and real involvement in the local and national riding community. For anyone after a shop that treats servicing and custom builds as seriously as it treats retail, Get Lost Cycling positions itself as a proper local hub rather than just another bike retailer.
