Our Story
This idea spawned out of sheer frustration of the 2020 Covid lock down. For us mountain bikers (& to a large extent all cyclists in general) lockdown was a long drawn out frustrating process.
As if not being able even get to our local trails & favourite stomps was bad enough, we had to resort to riding up & down & round & round our blocks & yards (along with stopping every 2 min to let the rest of the troop catch up). Which is all fine & dandy until things start breaking, falling apart & wearing down. In normal times we would just pop around the road to our local bike shop or online shopping, but with all our shops closed, couriers only delivering to businesses & essential services & global shipping being in utter disarray we at Tasman Bikes decided it was time to have a crack at turning the tide back in our favour.
Starting small our aim is simple!
to bring a range of quality affordable bike parts, products & consumables to the local market via online stores for contactless shopping & delivery.
to make shopping online as cheap & hassle free as possible by offering back up service, detailed product knowledge & reasonable shipping costs.
with the goal to get as many people (young & old) off the couch and out & about in the Tasman region (along with the rest of NZ of course) as possible because well lets face it we have some to the most amazing, diverse, scenic, wild terrain & tracks in not just the country but the world here in the Tasman, from the Heaphy track to the Remeka track, from the Kaiteriteri MTB park to the Wiroa Gorge & the back country of the Richmond Ranges we have it all.
And finally to promote cycling as an environmentally / Eco friendly sport, hobby & means of personal transportation, that can benefit people of all ages, all backgrounds, all different walks of life and of all different ability levels.
Plans for the future.
As our online store, customer base & support we ill be working on lager range of parts, products & services including bike workshops, DIY instructional videos, trail reviews, mechanical & maintenance services and lastly ongoing support for the local MTB community & the local shredders themselves.
Hope to see you out on the trails soon.
