Like the Bushtukah bike repair shop but - dare I say it - better. Although I do love the Bushtukah bike people, the people at Fresh Air are amazing. They really do love their bikes. It is more than a job for them. I went in a few times with problems and they helped me out big time. I am talking getting out tools and machines I did not know existed so that I knew what I needed down to the mm!!! Cannot say anything critical of them after the help and service they gave to me (even let me park in their parking lot and took me to the bike repair heaven in the pits of the building). 11 out of 10 :-D

Good recreational bike shop in west wellington.
They are very serious about cross country skiing here, they seem to have everything.
They even do free waxing workshops on Saturdays so you can learn how to wax your own skis (and buy all the stuff you need to do it with).
There seems to be a big mixture of sales people, some are very knowledgeable, some have specialties in one area only, but since it is a small shop you can never tell which one you are going to get.
This place is a ZOO on weekends in spring & early winter when people are brining in their bikes / skis to get tuned. Stay away!! Or at least watch out for skis because people do not know how to carry them and they could easily take you out!!
In the summer their focus is more on biking but they will do work on bikes in the winter as well. I usually go here to get flats fixed in the winter because I'm too lazy to change a flat outside the cold. I have had problems where I've gotten several flats in a row and they were very good about fixing it and looking more carefully each time (they did find anything any of the 3 times) and obviously didn't charge for the second & third change. -

This place was great when we wanted to get skates for the canal. they helped us get the blades we wanted and boots to match. they sold me the boots and bindings after the season one year and then got me the blades to work with the books i got on sale. it was a great experience and we will return.
