Our vision is to be "The World’s Most Approachable Bike Shops". Our shop teams are filled with driven consultants on the sales floor and skilled mechanics in the workshop.

Testimonial

"I joined the 99 team late 2019 in the Fast Track Team Leader Program. I was immediately impressed with the rewarding, inclusive culture and the opportunities for growth within the company. Within 6 months I was in a Team Leader position and tasked with opening the ACT’s newest and largest store. Fast forward 12 months and I am now the ACT Area Leader. I am really excited to be working in such a supportive, progressive and fun environment and for the next leg of my journey with 99 Bikes"
