Retro Cycles is committed to getting more people back into cycling. 

We know that there are so many reasons why you could be cycling - do you?  Here is a list of our favourite 10 reasons why you need a Retro Cycle.

 

1. Retro Cycles are super stylish and ooze attitude.  You will be amazed at the looks you get - our bikes really stand out in the crowd.

2. Cycling is healthy and addictive too (in a good way). Regular exercise stimulates the pleasure centres of your brain so the more you cycle, the more you will want to cycle.

3. Cycling is affordable.  The start up price is a fraction of any motor vehicle and running costs pale into insignificance.  Check out your savings for your typical commute at Environment Canterbury's Go Smarter website.

4. Cycling is fast! (for trips of 5 kilometres or less - check it out at Go Smarter).

5. Cycling is a great stress release especially if you're like the millions of workers today stuck in a desk job, spending hours browsing the net through broadband connection.Electra Sparker Special

6. There are no long walks from the car park to your destination.  More often than not, you can park your bike right outside.

7. Retro Cycles range of Electra Cruisers features an internal hub that houses the gears, bearings and brakes; the parts that when left exposed, lead to mechanical failure, dropping chains, poor shifting, constant adjusting, maintenance and mess.  Shimano has put all that technical stuff inside their internal hub to protect it so that you can enjoy your bike without worry or problems.

8. Cycling is fun way of getting your daily dose of exercise.

9. There are no age limits.  Cycling caters for young, old and those in between. 

10. Cycling is environmentally friendly and sustainable.  Every trip made using a bike instead of a car is improving the environment of our communties.
