About

Clyde the Cyclist

I'm Clyde Albuquerque, a Shimano-certified bicycle mechanic with over 13 years of experience in the industry as a bicycle builder, mechanic and supervisor in workshops across New Zealand and Australia.

I've made several contacts over the years which have allowed me to make Clycycles a reality. Several friends contributed, one suggested the name, another helped with the marketing, and numerous others have helped with valuable suggestions that were implemented to make it a success. We have thus enabled Clycycles, a small business with low overhead costs to provide excellent service for a very competitive price.

I firmly believe in the vast benefits riding a bicycle can bring to us all. I have a vision of bicycle touring NZ to England in the distant future (In a post covid-controlled world), and any information or expressions of interests to join in on the experience is warmly welcomed.

A bike purchased from Clycycles comes with a quick bike fit, a free full service to be used within 3 months, and any further repairs attract reduced labour charge within the first year of purchase.
