Biking is Not Cancelled in Level 3!

Billie Sue from Revolution Bikes

Hi friends and neighbours, many of you have been reaching out to us for help with your biking needs, and we are so glad that we can help you now that NZ is in Level 3.

Hi friends and neighbours, many of you have been reaching out to us for help with your biking needs, and we are so glad that we can help you now that NZ is in Level 3.

Of course like most businesses we've turned our usual way of trading on it's head.

- Our website is receiving orders again and we are shipping them with the couriers who are doing a great job of staying contactless.

- You can order on the website and choose to click and collect in a contactless way at our Havelock North store, there is no fee for this at all.

- Lots of recent inquiries are random and won't find an answer easily on the website (sometimes you just want to talk to a real person right?) - so phone us at the shop on 8778477 and we'll help you out. There are a lot of kids birthdays happening at the moment and we can usually sort out your needs pretty quickly with a chat.

- Our workshop is OPEN. Bring your bike to the side door where you can park it in the stand provided and one of our staff will write the service ticket for it. We will wash it outside before it's allowed into the workshop.

- The showroom is closed for browsing under level 3. Luckily we have a massive amount of space at our side door to allow for social distancing requirements, so we can talk you through what you need from many meters away.

- All payments are contactless (you cannot enter the shop to use eftpos or cash). To facilitate this we email you an invoice to pay online by bank transfer. We can also take credit card payments over the phone (note there is a small fee for CC transactions).

- We are offering bike home pick up and delivery for locals if you need repairs and are unable to get to the shop under level 3. There is a small fee for this.

All staff are well, and we want to stay that way, so please follow the government directives and stay at home if you are unwell or are self isolating!

Be well,
Billie Sue @ Revolution Bikes

Hi everyone, and thanks to the Neighbourly team for the offer of a premium business listing for Revolution Bikes!

We really appreciate the opportunity to spread the word about our bike shop. Being closed during Level 4 was a painful exercise, so like many local businesses we're reaching out to our community now that we can trade again. We've had lots of messages from locals during the shut down and we are so pleased to be able to help everyone again now in Level 3.

I'll make a seperate post about how we're operating under level 3, but for now just wanted to sign off with a big 'Hi' and leave you with a photo of some of the team, that I love, it was taken by one of our regular local riders Adrien J. and originally posted on our Instagram page (@revolutionbikesnz)

As you can probably tell the photo was taken in pre-covid19 days - back when we could hang out shoulder to shoulder. We miss that life!

Signing off

Find your new favourite artworks online

The Team from Resene ColorShop Hastings

For the first time in its history, this year will see the Auckland Art Fair go online.

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.

The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.

“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.

The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”

Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.

Paint a wooden chair

The Team from Resene ColorShop Hastings

Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Find out how to create your own.
