Simply Brilliant Bikes for Simply Brilliant Kids

Have a little one who's getting ready to roll? We have a range of bikes designed to get your child rolling and smiling. For those who want a traditional kids bike we have the "dialed" age appropriate design Trek Jet and Mystic 12" bikes, with rugged construction including heavy duty training wheels. We also have a range of balance bikes. For the budget conscious we have the wooden simplicity of the Netti "MyBike". We also have the amazing "Strider" running bike, featuring a super-light but bombproof metal frame, these things will survive any punishment even the most daredevil three or four year old can throw at it. And we are also the proud sole South Australian retailer of the award winning "Wishbone Bike" these are crafted in New Zealand and cater for any child thanks to their chameleon nature that enables them to be converted from trike to bike and then into a bigger bike.

Bike SA's Annual Tour Mechanical Support

Bike SA needed someone to follow 200 cyclists from across Australia as they cruised through SA's premium wine regions, of course as soon as wine regions and bicycles were mentioned in the same sentence, we put up our collective hands and volunteered Dave and Dave for the job.

Between the two they serviced or fixed around 15 bikes a day, gave plenty of advice and even managed to raise some money for the Amy Gillett Foundation while giving everyone something to laugh about...
