The Great Auckland Bike Market
Buy one, swap one, fix one.
Overview
Whether you're on the lookout for something to shred down hill at Woodhill or something slick to tackle the mean streets of Auckland, you are probably going to want to head along to The Great Auckland Bike Market.
I know you're probably thinking that winter is the least attractive season for bike riding and in turn for bike buying but if you know what's good for you, you'll catch on to the fact that for this very reason it is the perfect time of the year to buy a new bike.
It's also the best time to start on (or finish) a bike project, after all, you don't want to be riding the streets in the wet weather with dodgy brakes. The Bike Market has got your back, there'll be plenty of bike parts to get your hands on and if you end up frustrated and wanting to give it all up, why not swap out that frame of yours and pick up something fresh to work on.
The bike market has something for everyone and for every budget, there is always a few fix-er-up bikes in the mix alongside brand spanking new bikes, so be rest assured that this isn't some kind of bike showroom where you can admire from a distance, your bank balance keeping you at arm's length.
If it happens to be raining on the day and you aren't keen to ride, I'd suggest catching the train down to Britomart with your bike if you can, there'll be free repair and DIY workshops for those of you who want to get in the know and street food stalls to curb the inevitable shoppers hunger.
