The NZ Bike Expo brings ‘everything to do with the bicycle’ in a 2-day consumer show for everyone in Christchurch on this weekend (28-29 Oct). Here are 10 reasons to come:
1. There’s something for everyone including kids whether you’re a road cyclist, mountain biker, recreational rider, urban biker, you spin for health and fitness, or you’re just curious!
2. The Expo brings the widest selection of electric bikes yet seen together in Christchurch – test ride 15+ electric bike brands to directly compare.
3. This is the best opportunity to check out bike parks, events, trails and tours, and cycling clubs. Want to bike Colorado? Latin America? Cardrona?
4. Meet some of New Zealand’s elite cyclists: Anton Cooper, Ben and Craig Oliver, and Linda Villumsen – Linda on Saturday morning, Anton on both afternoons, Ben on Saturday afternoon and Craig on Sunday afternoon
5. Test ride all types of bikes and make direct comparisons on the 1km off-road demo track or on the 1km asphalt runway, and kids will love the kids zone
6. Your $10 ticket gives you a very good shot at some OUTSTANDING prizes that will put a smile on some lucky people’s faces. Prizes include a children’s balance bike, Cardrona Bike Park season pass and 5 day passes, Otago Central Rail Trail e-bike hire, tour and luxury accommodation for 2 people, a Jack Hot L3 electric scooter valued at $1400 and a lot more!
7. Take advantage of Expo specials, it’s a great time to make that Christmas purchase.
8. Calling all gear freaks: check out the 2018 season’s bikes and accessories and be in first for some exciting new product launches.
9. There’s heaps of stuff to do – have fun competing on a mini-lap track set up by Christchurch Adventure Park, make the leaderboard on stationary trials, sit in the driver’s seat of a truck or bus, try Fulton Hogan’s truck driving simulator to see just how they turn corners without crushing cyclists, make a smoothie with a bike…
10. Enter a Cyclocross event on Saturday morning and a Criterium on Sunday morning held IN the Expo. Details on www.nzbikeexpo.nz...
11. (OK, we couldn't stop at just 10...) The best reason to come is… cycling’s fun, shopping’s fun, imagining your next adventure is fun, trying out new bikes is fun, and it’ll be a big buzz!!!

Unfortunately the gorgeous Maverick passed away last Wednesday 11th October of a suspected heart attack. He passed away in the arms of his loving mum during one of his favourite runs along Brighton beach.
Mavvy has been a part of the petstock family for a year and will be sorely missed by his team and customer family.
No longer will Mr Security come to greet you or lean on you at the counter if you were his friend.
Rest easy sweet boy. Mucho love to Mavvy and Bianca and the rest of the family. xoxo

Lovely old tractor needs a new home with someone who can give it the love it deserves.

Not sure what model but could be a TE-20.

Used to go like the clappers but stopped working. :-( we think it's something to do with the distributor? Not being mechanically minded we haven't tried to fix it.

We also have some add ons to go with it such as wheel covers / mud guards, extra front wheel and bonnet.

Price: $2,100
