Village Cycles - Impactful from day one.
In the heart of Nelson, on Queen Street, a stone's throw from the Cycle Trail, you'll find Village Cycles. Established in 1987, this isn't just a bike shop; it's a thriving hub where the local cycling community comes alive. With its rustic charm and convenient parking, Village Cycles has grown from a modest start to become a beloved landmark in the area, known for its range of top brands and deep-rooted passion for cycling.
The atmosphere at Village Cycles is always buzzing. It's a gathering spot for various group rides, and where cyclists of all ages and abilities come together.
Recently, Village Cycles joined Workride, New Zealand’s ride-to-work benefit scheme. This scheme allows employees from participating workplaces to enjoy a substantial offset of between 32-63% off the in-store sale price of bikes, e-bikes, or scooters through tax exemptions. The introduction of Workride at Village Cycles was seamless and impactful. It wasn't just about adding a new service; it was about enhancing and supporting the local business community to ride-to-work.
The integration of Workride into Village Cycles' offerings has been a healthy addition to an already awesome store. Andy Reid, Owner of Village Cycles commented “Both staff and customers are thrilled with the scheme's ease and efficiency. The impact has been evident straight away with a number of sales already in the first week… it’s created a positive buzz that I feel will grow as more local employers come on board.”

As Village Cycles continues with Workride, it’s clear that this is only going to continue to enhance the store's offering. The store has always been more than a place to purchase a bike; Andy is proud to have his store known as a place where relationships are built, and community is fostered.
