Pushbikes have been open since 2001, when owner Richard Allin purchased an existing cycle shop located in Rangiora. ‘I had been working in the bicycle industry in Central Christchurch and wanted to bring my expertise and the best brands direct to the public in North Canterbury. This would mean residents would no longer need to travel to Christchurch for top service’ - Richard. Pushbikes rapidly grew and due to demand then from Christchurch customers in September 2006 it opened the second store in Papanui, Christchurch. Then from strenght to strenght in August 2009 our 3rd store in Central City, Christchurch. Over the years Pushbikes has remained extremely active in the sport, with the running of successful MTB events, formation and support of local cycling clubs, and the introduction of 'Team Pushbikes' which is a sponsorship development team for Junior cyclists wanting support in fulfilling their goals in cycling. More recently and just released to the media our new venture of the 'Warmup - Pushbikes Cycling Team'.
