What's It All About...?

Well, after hearing so many of you ask for more help with your cycling – from how to simply go faster on your bikes, to wanting tips on bike handling, safety or (the ever-popular) tube-changing – Sarah and Meshy (SUB’s New Zealand Cycling Champion) have put together some tailor-made cycling workshops to answer ALL your questions (plus those you never knew you had!)

We have two types of workshops available this year. Both are very limited numbers, designed so we can have decent 1-on-1 time and you won’t get lost in the masses!

So Who’s Running These Shows anyway?!

We have both cycled for NZ at World Championships, Commonwealth and Olympic Games – on the road and track. We have also raced professionally in Europe and America, so between the two of us, we have LOADS of cycling experience!

We love seeing people getting into cycling and how feverish they are about it – so we’re dead keen to share what we’ve learnt with you, to have you ripping into your cycling with confidence, skill and generally LOVING it!!
