2012 Giant Bikes

As Spring gets closer, we have some new bikes ready to wet your appetite.

We have just received our first shipment of the 2012 Giant Recreational Range.

Giant have made another step in the right direction with some great colour choices and still continuing on with amazing value for money.

Call into any of our 3 stores to check out the new range of Giant Bikes. And if we don't have the bike built you are looking for, we can show you the choices in our catalogue.

We are hoping that sometime in August we will see the Performance range of Giant bikes become available.

Sydney Bike & Lifestyle Show

Whether you ride every day, or a few times a year, cycling is indeed a way of life. Cycling Australia's inaugural Bike & Lifestyle Show is coming to Sydney and Brisbane in 2011 to publicly showcase products and services across the entire cycling industry to assist your life on the bike. In fact, the Bike & Lifestyle Show will go 'beyond the wheel'.

Sydney's show is a three-day event - July 22-24 - which coincides with the final stages of world cycling's ultimate showcase, the Tour de France. On Friday 22nd July the Bike & Lifestyle Show will be open late into the night becoming the place to be to enjoy the thrilling Alpe d'Huez stage with your friends, broadcast live at show at the first-of-its-kind SBS Live Site.

Thus it's fitting that our premium partner is SBS. The network's commitment to cycling via its live broadcasts and flagship Cycling Central magazine program and website, is unrivalled in Australia. Its coverage of 'Le Tour' will be inclusive of events at the Sydney show, including the SBS Live Site.
