About Switched on Bikes
Audrey Banach-Salas remembers the hazy summer days of childhood, riding bikes around sprawling suburbs with a group of mates. In Christchurch, the wide, flat roads were a perfect place for her to develop skills and confidence in biking for transport. These days, Audrey celebrates a passion for cycling and is enthusiastic about sharing this joy of bikes with people in the community. Working as a cycle skills educator, she has helped run workshops teaching people of all ages and backgrounds to ride and fix bikes. As a mechanic at Switched On Bikes and other community hubs, Audrey enjoys helping people get the most out of their bike. When she’s not covered in grease in the workshop she enjoys gardening, walking the dog, and is always down for a yarn about improving cycleways.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Outstanding service! I had my bike booked in for some work before lockdown. I live out of town, so couldn’t justify coming in under level 3. Ryan and Eric kept in contact with me and proactively suggested a time that might work once we got to level 2. They managed my expectations and communicated exceedingly well. One part of my job did not work out, due to a fault with a part that I supplied. So they proposed to not charge me for that portion of the labour, until I could supply a replacement part. Since I got home, they have also been in touch with other ideas. I say again: Outstanding service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great option to see Wellington in few hours!
As our cruise ship arrived to Wellington, we got a message from the bike shop that the weather might cause them to cancel the tour. We did the tour anyway and it was great! Genevieve, our tour guide, was very informative and fun. As she stopped to tell us about Wellington & NZ history, we also learn about the social & political dynamics of this beautiful capital city.
Most of the tour is on dedicated bike paths, so no need to deal with cars, except on few roads. There is a stop for drinks & snacks in a cafe, before heading to a hill that commands a 360 degrees of the Wellington harbor.
Riding the E-bikes made the tour easy & effortless. The guys at the bike shop were extremely friendly & handy, making the whole checking process fast and easy.
There are great eateries nearby to get good food after the ride.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I leased an e-bike from these guys for 3 months then bought from them too. They offer a great deal where you can get up to 3 months lease costs off the full price of a new bike as a way to test out both whether you want to buy one and also, what kind of bike you want to buy. It was such a great value way to do this and I tried out a couple over the 3 months - one more a commuter ebike and one that’s one of their new EMBC range. Bought the EMBC from them. Brilliant customer service and advice. Great quality bikes. Highly recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Rented mtb e bike. Rode to the windmill, vhf tower and red rocks. Bike had plenty of power for the time I rented. Only regret - not being more familiar with the trails from the windmills to Redrocks to see seals sun bathing. I got lost and hit some serious elevation. That was all on me, but made amazing memories!! Would rent again!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome experience. Group of 5 of us road round oriental parade, through to Mapuia prison, eastern and southern bays all the way round to Island Bay before heading back for 4pm along Happy Valley road. Multiple stops to picnic, cafes, etc.. Our GrabOne voucher deal made it great value for money. Riding uphill made it possible to get to explore hill, ridge line view points! Huge thanks to the friendly and very flexible team at Switch on Bikes. Always happy to please.
