THE FOUNDERS
Ken Ching
Bicycle Nut
Ken has been working with bicycles from the start of his working life some 18 years ago. Bikes have taken him around the world from Singapore to Europe, America, China and now New Zealand. Ken entered the bike industry by working with his father’s electric bicycle brand and manufacturing company. A predominately everyday rider he has also done some exceptional long-distance touring. From a basic puncture repair to building the bike of your dreams, Ken will go out of his way to make sure your two wheels are rolling as you expect them to be.
Charlotte Bebbington
Creative Wheel
Charlotte has a background in Graphic Design and loves all this visual. She fell in love with riding a bike while living in Shanghai; where she discovered simple city bikes, en-mass and a little cycle planning was such a driver in building connected communities and a liveable city. The after-effects of the Christchurch earthquakes fuelled a desire for Charlotte to put her creative juices to use and give back to the city she grew up. Charlotte is the brain behind the stores’ aesthetics, aiming to make a place accessible to all types of bike riders.
