How often do I plan to ride? Where am I going to ride? How hard am I on gear? How much do I want to spend? Do I carry any injuries?
Our friendly staff are the best people to help answer these questions and assist you in selecting the bike that will meet your needs and make you smile. At Stewarts Cycle City we have been fitting people to bikes in Nelson for over 20 years.
