We stumbled upon Shimada Cycleworks, a bicycle shop like no other in Sydney in that it looks and feels like it’s just been plucked out of Tokyo and plonked into town.
Shimada Cycleworks is hidden away in a little laneway and takes up space underneath the shops on Oxford St. With some simple but effective design touches they’ve managed to turn a dark cave into a clean, functional and inspirational space.
Run by Tokyo Bike’s former mechanic Koji Shimada, who has more than 15 years of experience as a bike mechanic. Shimada charges a measly $40 for a check-up and general service, great news for inner-city dwelling cyclists!
