The right bike accessories make it easy to have fun on your bicycle.
At Blue Cycles, our number one goal as a business is to help cyclists have the most fun possible on their bikes. Whether you’re a road biker or a mountain biker, and whether you ride competitively or for leisure, we have the accessories and equipment that will take your experience to the next level.
Tips Regarding Shopping for Bicycle Accessories Online
Founded in 2012, Blue Cycles is a retailer with one foot in both the brick-and-mortar world and the online world. We have two physical retail store locations—one in Coconut Grove and the other in Palmerston. We also have a massive online store, where you can find, explore, and order all our wares. We know that, for many of our customers, the easiest way to shop for premium cycling accessories in this day and age is to shop for bicycle accessories online. However, since buying online often means buying sight unseen, we have a few tips to help you find the right accessories for you.
- Pay attention to warranty coverage and return policies: One of the critical components of buying a bike accessory with confidence is knowing that both the manufacturer and the seller will stand behind that product. You don’t want to end up saddled with a cheap part or accessories that will break after a few weeks. The good news is that many biking accessories come with solid manufacturer’s warranties. You should pay attention to these warranties as you shop—especially if you are purchasing a more expensive part or product. It’s also vital to look for a retailer that will give you a fair return policy if you feel that a product was not described accurately, or if it isn’t compatible with your bike. At Blue Cycles, we offer a return policy that is nearly unprecedented in any segment of the retail market: 365 days from the date of purchase.
- Read the product specifications: The advantage of a brick-and-mortar shopping experience is the human interaction side of things. Being able to talk to a sales associate, learn the various pros and cons of different products, ask questions and otherwise have access to that expert opinion is extremely helpful. Shopping online is tougher because you don’t have that face-to-face connection. With that point made, you can learn a lot about bike accessories by reading product listings and specifications. At Blue Cycles, we try to make our product pages as helpful as possible. Each page includes an ‘Editor’s Note’ section, which consists of a description, a list of features, tech specifications (if applicable) and sizing information. Plus, if you have a question that can’t be answered by reading through this information, you can always give us a call to speak with a representative.
- Make sure you can get your accessories shipped to your location: Some online retailers don’t ship nationwide. They might only offer delivery to certain cities or regions throughout Australia, or might exclusively serve the state in which they are located. When you are shopping for bicycle accessories online, make sure you understand their delivery policies. At Blue Cycles, we take any guesswork out of the equation. Whether you are shopping for bike accessories in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or anywhere else in Australia, we are happy to have you shop with us. We offer free delivery Australia wide on all products, with no minimum order necessary to get the free delivery perk.
Related Services We Provide to Bike Accessories
Blue Cycles is not just a place to buy bicycle accessories. On the contrary, we have plenty more to offer as a business, both in the other products we sell and in the services we provide. These additional offerings include:
- Bicycles themselves: If you are in the market for a new bicycle, Blue Cycles is the perfect place to start shopping. We offer bikes for every possible segment of the riding population. We have road bikes, mountain bikes and hybrid and city bikes. We have bikes from all manner of brands and at all different price points. We have push bikes and other kid-friendly bicycle options. Once you’ve found the right bike, switch over to the other sections of our store to explore the best mountain bike or push bike accessories.
- Other biking essentials: Perhaps you need a new site of cycling clothing to stay cool and comfortable on long summer rides. Maybe you need a replacement part or tyre for your bike, to carry out some at-home maintenance. Or perhaps you have been looking for the best food/nutrition options to take on your rides. Blue Cycles stocks all these products and more—again, all with the goal of making your bike experience more enjoyable.
- Outreach to the bike community: Blue Cycles is part of the cycling community here in Australia, and so we want to give back to that community whenever we can. Sometimes, ‘giving back’ means supporting local club events and offering our sponsorship. Other times, it means running bike maintenance 101 programs, or raising money for issues we see to be important, or engaging the community with fun competitions. In any case, we do our best to make a difference and drive the culture of cycling here in Australia.
