Good Rotations

General information

Good Rotations Bicycle Shop is all about using bicycles in everyday life for adventures close to home and far away.

Our website showcases bicycles as a practical mode of transport, and encourages people to use bicycles more in their daily journeys.

In the online shop you will find a selection of bikes for sale – but we can order many more for you.

Our small shop in Wanaka is open from Wednesday to Friday 2-6pm (days and times change with the seasons). Drop in for a chat, try out our bikes or browse our parts and accessories. We’re adding more all the time!

OUR TEAM

We’ve both used bicycles for years for getting around, and in 2012 we got our first electric cargo bike: it was a revelation that proved to us that bikes can really replace the car for local journeys. Living in a small town where most trips are only a few kilometres, we were perplexed why so many cars and 4×4’s were jamming up the roads around us. How could this be different?

We started imagining a place where people used bicycles not just for sport (which many people do already), but also for all their local journeys: be it for getting themselves from A to B, transporting the smaller members of the family, getting in the full weeks shopping, to moving heavy loads and doing business.

This isn’t just a dream – it already exists in many towns and cities around the world. In Copenhagen for example, over 40% of all journeys are made by bicycle year round.

We think this is something worthwhile aiming for and we’d like to help make it reality in the place we live, with the hope that the obvious benefits of using bicycles for transport: health, economic, environmental, social and just having fun, will spread!
