Get Lost Cycling
- Get Lost Cycling was born out of a passion for bicycles. From the beginning, our vision was to create a workshop-centric store that would evolve into the local hub for cyclists that it is today. We love riding bikes, fixing bikes and chatting bikes. Collectively we have a broad range of experience in the cycling industry and between us there isn’t a type of bike that we haven’t worked on. After working in some of the most established and well-respected shops in Wellington, and beyond, we decided to start our own.
