Cycling in Melbourne Australia
Bike Shops in Ballarat or Melbourne
Hi Guys,
I am from Singapore, and will be going up to Ballarat for my pilot training which is about a year worth of training. I am an avid cyclist and triathlete, and i'm looking to purchase a new TT bicycle when i am there in a months time. Would like to check with everyone,
Are there any good recommended bicycle shops in Ballarat or anywhere near the ballarat airport?
Any particular shop which offers good servicing / after purchase services / good offers and a proper bike fit?
So far, i am looking at purchasing either a Specialized transition or a Felt TT bike, or any recommended TT bikes. Any particular shop tt carries TT bikes/ equipments/ services?
Would really appreciate if someone could point me to the right directions. Stranger in a new land. Hope to make some friends when i am there.
Cheers!
Jarrett, Singapore

Hi Jarrett, there are plenty of bike shops in Ballarat. You'll be able to find what you're looking for. If you're prepared to travel you can find bargains via http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/. For cycling in Ballarat the local club website is a great resource: http://www.cyclingballarat.com.au/. I'm not a member due to family responsibilities & work, but I used it to find group rides when I came here & I'm glad I did. You're bound to find someone to ride with, no matter what you like. You'll need to invest in some cold climate attire though. That's where my money has gone. Enjoy.
