Lifecycle began as Recycle Cycles. Recycle was a radical departure from the conventional bike shop of the time, being driven by a wholehearted passion to deliver fine bicycles in any form, from exquisite hand-built Reynolds 531 tourers to renovated old Bullocks rescued from the backyards of second hand shops. With the advent of mountain bikes, Recycle evolved into Adelaide’s first specialist MTB shop, fielding SA’s first shop based MTB racing team and taking the leading role in touring and commuting as well as off-road cycling.
We have grown enormously over the years, and in May 1996 we moved to our current larger premises, changing our name to better suit the character of our business.
Today Lifecycle provides a complete service to cyclists of all kinds, from kids to recreational riders to racing pros. And our commitment to deliver quality at all levels remains.
Lifecycle bicycles are an Avanti Plus dealer located near the Adelaide CBD in Norwood. We stock a complete range of Avanti, Scott & Raleigh mountain bikes, road & racing, comfort, touring and kids bikes.
We stock a complete range of bicycle parts and accessories, helmets, cycle clothing, gloves, shoes, racks and pannier& back packs.
Lifecycle has gained the experience and know how to set you up to perform at your best, from a history in the Mountain Bike scene in Adelaide going back to its very beginning. We have staff who pioneered the competition here, and sponsored riders who count amongst the best in their respective classes.
Avanti
These antipodean thoroughbreds deserve the respect they have won in the racing community. Innovative, light and detailed in their quality, they are built to perform.
Road Bikes
Lifecycle stock a full range of Avanti and Scott road bikes. From everyday commuters to full carbon fibre feather-weight racing frames with top of the range Shimano or Campagnolo component groups.
Comfort, Leisure & Style
The Hybrid bike has evolved to provide riders with the ultimate leisure machine. Design benefits acquired from the mountain bike are refined to give creature comforts hitherto unimagined. Relaxed upright positioning, plush saddles, shock absorbing seat pillars, and smooth rolling tyres ensure the hybrid bicycle's ever growing rider friendly reputation.
It’s the perfect choice for those whose aim is simply to gain much needed exercise in the most pleasurable of ways. Be it a breezy trip through the parklands (with long pause in a favourite cafe); a salty cruise along the foreshore (for once its the dog that can’t keep up); or a bit of harder yakka in the hills (playing dot to dot with the local wineries). It’s as good as it sounds.
Do it now!
