ABOUT 99 BIKES:

99 Bikes opened the doors of its first tiny 170m2 shop in Milton, Brisbane in May 2007, a shop so small that we could only fit 99 bikes into the store. From that humble beginning, we have grown to become the largest bicycle retailer in Australia with 798 employees and we now have retail stores in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. In the last 12 months we sold over 164,000 bikes and we have a loyal customer base of over 1.8 million Club 99 Members in Australia, part of our vision to be 'The World's Most Approachable Bike Shops'. Best Employer multi-award winner and global retail giant Flight Centre also bought into the business, giving us access to shared resources and enabling us to fast-track our growth.

In addition to our retail stores, we also own Advance Traders, a bicycle distributor importing popular brands such as Merida, BMC, plus many more. Together we form the Pedal Group and this integration has underpinned our growth and given our people much greater career opportunities across the group.

For instance, someone who started as a bike builder in a shop went on to become GM of our UK operation. Another of our Melbourne high achievers wanted to move to Canberra so we opened our first store there. We build our business around our people, promote from within wherever possible, and have numerous training pathways to help them achieve their potential.

We have always been about living our purpose of enriching mind, body, earth or soul with the freedom of riding and focused on balancing purpose with profit. In 2023 we made it official by becoming a certified B Corporation (B Corp). Learn more about B Corp certification here. Just by doing business everyday, we are proud to sell products that have the potential to significantly improve the mental and physical health of our customers and communities whilst also lowering their carbon footprint, if they make the choice to ride bikes instead of drive.

Since 2016 we have donated over $2.8 million to charities chosen by our employees through our annual Earning To Give program. We pay our people to ride to work to help them stay healthy and reduce their environmental impact with over 75% of our employees using this initiative. Over 70% of our stores have solar panels installed and we are committed to finding ways to reduce waste from our stores with upcycling and recycling programs in most stores.
