Apply for an adventure in New Zealand. Bicycle Junction is Wellingtons Friendly Neighbourhood Bikery. We’re a bike shop, a café and a community hub for all things bike. We’re also New Zealand’s leading utility cycling specialist. As an independent retailer we pick the brands we love and ride such as Surly, Brompton and Riese & Müller to name a few. We’re all about bikes that can carry stuff, be it on a bike-packing tour of NZ, a daily commute by e-bike or simply from home to school with two kids on the back of a cargo-bike. We love practical bikes for going places and getting stuff done. In the weekends you will find us either racing cross, grinding the local gravel trails or hauling our children (or pianos, sound-systems and washing machines) by cargo bike. If you have the same passions, chances are we’ll be a good fit. Bicycle Junction is focused on encouraging cycling and community engagement; all our staff are passionate cyclists and take pride in the shop’s impact on Wellington cycling culture. We like to inspire people to riding bikes through creative events that make people smile, such as bike raves, bicycle cinema, BBQ rides etc and anything else we can have fun with.

The successful applicant will have proven experience with a wide range of bicycle servicing including Bosch and Shimano e-bike motor systems.

Our sales team prides itself on plain english explanations and a welcoming attitude towards new cyclists. Ideally you would have a passion for Gravel and Adventure cycling and be excited about building our trade in Surly Bikes and Adventure riding accessories. You will be a trusted mechanic for the bikepacking and touring community and be able to talk people through custom builds and accessorization for bikepacking, touring or urban utility.
