Hi, we're Matt and Babu, the owners of Good Rotations. We opened our small boutique bicycle store in Wanaka back in 2013 with the bold aim to encourage the use of bicycles for everyday journeys and bigger adventures. From transporting our lives on cargo bikes, to venturing far and wide on fat-tyred bikepacking beasts, we've been certain for many years that bicycles are the best way to travel and explore. Our little shop soon became a hub for community, with events, art exhibitions and much random silliness, always with a bike theme.

Fast forward to 2020 – COVID rattled the tin a bit and we moved the shop online. But fear not! Good Rotations is still here to provide you with the best bikepacking bags, bikes and gear available and to assist you with advice & tips to plan that next big bicycle-powered adventure.

Bikepacking is my (Matt's) true love, having adventured, and raced ultra brevets in Europe, Latin America and New Zealand including the first Tour Aotearoa, Kiwi Brevet, Tour Te Waipounamu (twice) and Navad 1000 (now the Hope 1000). I'm always happy to be able to share my experience and expertise with other bikepackers.
