A bikeshop with a difference…

Commuter Cycles is a bike workshop dedicated to everyday cyclists. Fixing bikes is what we do. If you love your bike, and ride it to get from A to B, Commuter Cycles is your bike shop.

We offer tailored servicing and repairs, reliable accessories and good value replacement parts. We take great pride in our workmanship and think bright lights, panniers and mudguards are cool. At Commuter Cycles, the workshop is the shop, so you deal with the same people who look after your bike.

If you’re after a bike, we also sell complete Surly bikes and Gazelles, or can build your dream steed from the ground up.

Better still, Commuter Cycles makes looking after your bike easy by offering courtesy bikes, opening early and closing late, and we’re conveniently located next to the Upfield bikepath and Brunswick station.

Jamis Coda Sport

May 8th, 2012 - no comments


We have just received our first order of Jamis Coda Sport bikes.  They are a budget commuter bike similar to the Shogun Metros of old that we see so many of still in active service after 10 or 20 years.  They are Chromoly hybrids with a sensible mix of parts, room for wide tyres and mud guards, braze-ons for racks and mud guards, and they’re a good looking bike with understated black and silver paint work.  They also have a neat system to allow adjustment of stem height without much fuss, so while you’re getting acquainted with the bike you can try out a few positions.

LHT with Butterfly Bars

April 23rd, 2012 - no comments

We don’t do a lot of Butterfly bars, but for some people they are just what the doctor ordered.  This is a Long Haul Trucker build we did using butterfly bars to shorten the cockpit to make a second-hand slightly-too-big frame work for one of customers who doesn’t like drop bars.
