Wellington's Urban, Adventure & Electric Bike Shop Bicycle Junction is your neighborhood bikery (bike shop and cafe). Call us to book or just drop on by.
We have a full workshop for servicing all types of bicycles: road, e-bikes or mountain. We have loaner bikes available for those of you on the commute. We can also book you for a same day service if required! We specialise in bicycles for an urban environment. Cargo bikes, fixed gear bikes, classic-style European bikes and high quality e-bikes. We also sell clothing and bicycle related books and magazines, so come have a browse and talk bikes with us.

If you want to learn how to check for yourself see our blog below π Otherwise zip down to our shop and in most cases we can assess at a glance with no charge.
Happy riding π₯³

ππ΄ββοΈπΊ Join Marcus McShane and the cycling community for the Loemis Festival Wolf Run this Friday, June 21st!
Event Description
π The Wolf Run is a unique event where we embrace the longest, darkest night of the year. At sundown, dressed as wolves, we'll gather to ride through the city, accompanied by animated wolves on buildings and a specially composed soundtrack.
π² There will be a wolf-accessorising workshop at 3:45 pm prior to the event at Thistle Hall (239 Cuba St), led by scenic designer Jen Eccles. This is your chance to perfect your wolf look!
πΎ At 4:45 pm, we'll assemble outside Thistle Hall for a 5:00 pm departure. Our route will take us on a scenic circuit through town before joining the Loemis procession along the waterfront.
πΆ At Oriental Bay beach, we'll celebrate with music, bonfires, and festivities as we mark the turning of the year towards the sun.
π Want to ride with our pack? Don your wildest wolf attire, bring your bike, and join us for an unforgettable evening!
