Sporting goods in Christchurch

“Lovely staff, very efficient, great products”

“Went to another bike shop first and regretted it when they didn't fix the braking issue and nearly caused a crash. Scotty Browns, great service with friendly, knowledgeable bike mechanics and super fast. Booked it online Saturday. Repaired by Monday lunchtime.”

“Great atmosphere, greeted upon entry (but not in superficial way), and Staff are very friendly. They definitely put more effort into making sure you have a good experience shopping than 99% of retailers, great deals too. Highly recommend checking it out.”

“Super helpful team with great knowledge and experience. Good selection of supplements and gear”

“Steve was awesome. I had come into the store looking for a watch that was well over spec'd for my needs. He asked 3 simple question, recommended I get a watch half the price and I'm loving it + it still does more than I need. Can't recommend enough! Thanks Steve”

“Great customer service. A timely delivery and refund. Our chosen pants didn’t quite fit so sadly had to return them - their communication and refund was so quick. I would happily buy from them again.”

“Incredible customer service after a shambles with GrabOne going into liquidation. Springfree honoured the order, and our wee one absolutely loves the trampoline. Has made for some fun family evenings in the sun after work. Thanks so much for helping create some cool family memories!”

“Highly recommended shop, fantastic service from Hugh! I had purchased a surfboard for my son for Christmas and travelled with the boxed gift up North but threw the packaging half way to our destination (long story), only to realize when we got to the beach that I was missing the fins. Hugh replied to my distressed email within half an hour and said he would dispatch a set of fins with Post Haste. More complications arise, but Hugh went above and beyond what one would've expected, and I had one happy kid surfing at Sandy Bay!! Thank you so much, Exit Surf!”

“We were served by a fantastic young man this morning. He helped & encouraged our son to find the right pair of shoes. He went above & beyond to do a great job. Thank you”

“James and the team are just fantastic. Nothing is ever a problem, yes they can make it happen. A genuine personal touch to everything. Highly recommend.”

“The Arena is a stellar day out, massive support for this place and the gameplay. Professional refs, great pre-game Briefing, a shop out front and well organised. Able to support small and large groups with equal success. 10/10 RECOMMEND”

“I wish I could give Wired2Ride more than 5 stars! This is the ONLY place I would ever recommend someone buy and Ebike from. Not only are their prices the best you will find, their quality and service is second to none! Donald is always an email away and never fails to put you right! This is the most generous and trustworthy company you'll ever deal with. Seriously, could not recommend them highly enough! A++++++++ in all aspects!”

“Great service. John was great to deal with. Very knowledgeable”

“Have just purchased my first e-bike today. Thanks to the excellent customer service from Mudit. Great to be able to take my time testing out their range of bikes. Also the other 2 guys also working at Cranford St store were friendly & approachable. Very happy with my Melo Yelo. Cheers.”

“Alchemy Equipment is my favourite label . I am 188 cm and 90 kg .XL is the perfect fit . I am always confident to order online . The quality , colour palette and design matches all my needs .”

“Sofiya is a huge asset to this store. She spent at least an hour bringing us clothes for my son to try. Nothing was too much trouble. We really appreciated her help. She has a good eye and was extremely honest with her opinions and advise. Thank you See you next time we are down.”

“Amazing friendly service and specialist advice. I would highly recommend coming here for your hockey needs.”

“Went in today (Sunday 2nd Feb) to get my super trousers repaired, and the guy in the shop has one of the most OG kiwi accents I have ever heard! 'Helpful as, good as good, away laughing, a bloody good gag, we'll sort you out.' I would have loved to stay and chat all day but he had other customers to serve. Cactus is the best!”

“Great service!! I took my old bike in to get a couple of repairs done. James quickly fixed it, plus did a few bonus tweaks to it as well. He explained how I could further improve the condition of my bike and also gave me good advice on the pros and cons on the maintenance of my current bike vs buying a new one. Thanks James, I appreciated your service.”

“Ah, Cycleways Bike Shop—a true gem of the bike repair world and, apparently, a haven for stranded gravel bikes needing a bit of TLC. My visit here was not just a transaction; it was an experience of unexpected camaraderie, stellar service, and the kind of goodwill you don’t always expect right after the festive chaos of Christmas. Here’s the blow-by-blow of what went down: • The Welcome: I was greeted by a friendly American bloke, the kind who makes you feel like you’ve just entered his home rather than a shop. Polite, cheerful, and dangerously competent—this guy knew his stuff. He took my forlorn Giant SLR gravel bike under his wing, nodding knowingly as I explained its myriad woes. • The Plan: A brake bleed? Done. A new 10-speed chain cut? Sorted. Promised me I could pick it up the next day, which is either mad optimism or sheer confidence at this time of year. • The Execution: True to their word, I got the “your bike is ready” text the very next day. I shot over quicker than a downhill run, and there she was, gleaming like new (well, close enough). • The Chain: Cut perfectly—no clanking, rattling, or regretful sighs. • The Brakes: Bled and back to stopping power. A year of neglect on the trainer? Consider it forgiven. • The Derailleurs: Oh, and they went rogue here in the best way—gave both the front and rear derailleurs a tweak, just because they could. Shifting was smoother than my best race day. • The Cost: $130 for the lot, and this included some above-and-beyond touches. For post-Christmas service, that’s a steal. • The Verdict: They’re not my regular bike shop, but they’re making a compelling case to be. The combination of excellent workmanship, reasonable pricing, and downright good vibes was enough to win me over. Would I recommend them? Absolutely. If you’ve got a gravel bike—or any bike, really—that’s been sitting around, Cycleways will whip it back into shape faster than you can say “brake bleed.” Final thoughts: They’re a good lot. Pop in if you want proper service without the faff.”
