New Plymouth district has fantastic bike shops, bike clubs, a cycle advocacy group and the New Plymouth Bike Kitchen.
The New Plymouth Bike Kitchen is a bicycle workshop run by volunteers to help you to maintain and fix your bicycle. The volunteer bike mechanics give their time to help you:
The Bike Kitchen provides tools and mechanical expertise in a safe and inclusive space that is open to the public twice a week. They have a stock of free used parts available for you to re-use on your bike project. Any bikes donated to Bike Kitchen will be repaired, maintained and passed on for koha.
Location: The Metro Plaza Devon St (just in behind FitFresh)
Hours: Wednesdays 5.30pm - 7pm and Saturdays 10am – 12pm
Cost: Koha/donations are gratefully received and go towards the running of the Bike Kitchen, there is no cost for time, the workshop space or used parts
We are everyday cyclists, recreational cyclists, occasional cyclists, commuter cyclists, and would-be cyclists, and we work together to make biking better in North Taranaki.
Join the Facebook group or send NTCA an email to find out how you can help to grow a community of people who ride bikes, speak up for positive change, and increase the profile of cycling in local government decision-making.
