Moruya Bicycles has been supplying good advice, good service and quality products to residents of the New South Wales Far South Coast since 1988.

   We always strive to offer durability and reliability in our products. That way we don't waste our customers' money, nor do we unnecessarily waste the world's resources. 

    Of course we like to sell lots of stuff, but it has to be the right stuff. Cycling is a wonderfully pleasant experience, and we like to encourage and enhance that pleasure by supplying advice and products appropriate to our various customers. When you browse through our on-line store and you'll find advice and assistance wherever you look, just like when you come into our real shop!

   Let's all ride bikes and make this world a better place!

The CPF's main focus is:

• Promoting cycling to individuals to inspire more people to take up cycling.
• Promoting cycling to decision makers to demonstrate that investment and promotion of cycling is popular and cost effective. (see www.cyclingpromotion.com.au/CPFMovingForwards.pdf)
• Promoting cycling and its benefits to the media.
• Funding grassroots programmes which make a difference in promoting and encouraging cycling.
• Undertaking and supporting research to enable the industry, cycling organisations and governments to understand changing consumer demands and needs and developing programmes which are effective in getting more people riding bikes.
• Providing people with tips and information on cycling. (see www.rideabike.com.au)
• Fostering greater cooperation between cycling organizations to enable the cycling sector to have a stronger voice in gaining government support.

Conclusion: Clearly, we're to be taken seriously!

This is the very map carried in Mark's pannier for about 6 months on the first (1984) trip. That's the brown line, starting in Sydney and travelling up the east coast to Cape Tribulation, west over the Atherton Tablelands to Normanton, South and West to Tennant Creek, down to Ayers Rock and North again to Darwin via Kakadu.  The red line was the 1986 trip, heading west from Armidale, across the Nullarbor to Perth.

Click on "More details" for the Push-On magazine article Mark wrote following the 1984 (North) trip.

Touchy Quality   Maxell Alkaline Ace: Where quality touches infinity. Hey,we could use that one for Moruya Bicycles!

The Bright Life   If you buy a PowerPed Sherpa Mk IV, you'll be so lucky as to receive with it, free, a Classic lock complete with the following information: "Building the bright life, from cultivation of the bit". Followed by "Please enjoy BAISHU'S care careful to you in the sport."

Vigorous Brake Pads   New el cheapo brake pads from Apse ("Powerful bicycle components by APSE") with packaging that says no less than the following: "Best improvement than ever before! So Energetic, Best performance than you can imagine! So Vigorous!" Sounds like the result of a study of English language Spam.

Total Control Grips   Our **NEW** Hung Ya Grips, little cheap ($3) mushroom grips for 12" & 16" bikes give us great confidence with the following: " FEELING OF TOTAL CONTROL IN ALL CONDITIONS. ABSORBS SHOCK AND HELPS ALLEVIATE NUMBNESS. ALLOWS EXCESS SWEAT TO ESCAPE" And we thought the ODI, Oury, Giant and Ergon grips were good....

Better Living Tubes   Geax inner tubes promise "BETTER LIVING THROUGH RUBBER

Watch That Finger   An oldie but one of my favourites: Puncture kit instructions that included as point 4 or 5: "Be careful that the finger."

Kings, Nobles, Knights   Yes, it was some time back now, but we did in one day sell bikes to the King family, the Noble family and the Knight family. We're still waiting for the Jokers.

A Reigny Day   Sorry  folks, but that pun had to be made when we'd sold a Reign, assembled another Reign and serviced a third in one day. After all, that's a big deal for a little shop!

Foot, Foot, Foot   Typing can bring up a whole new world of spelling mistakes. Repco's "Little Miss Hotfoot" became "Little Miss Hotroot" a while back.
