The Best Down To Earth Bicycle Professionals

True Wheel Cycles was established in 1990 and is the oldest bike shop in the Shire. We’re an old fashioned shop located in the heart of Mullumbimby, run by and for cyclists, offering sales, service and friendly advice. Our primary products are bicycles and scooters for all ages and abilities. Our point of difference is that rather than specialising in a particular brand or discipline we cater for all things cycling and all skill levels.

We believe in alternative transportation

Meet David Martin

Born in the UK and arrived in Australia at the age of 2 David spent most of his recreational time riding horses in Country Victoria. After moving to the city of Melbourne David took on a motor mechanical apprenticeship. He was a late starter for taking up the hobby of bike riding and his decision was based on improving his health and fitness. He hasn’t looked back. In 2003 David bought into True Wheel Cycles (TWC) as a partner which was owned by Jay Carney. David’s background in Motorsport, Car and Motorcycles made for an easy transition into bicycle maintenance. David is passionate about alternative transport and enjoys riding road and gravel bikes.

Meet Josef Kaufmann

Born in Aalen Germany, Josef was inspired by his father to cycle and was a competitive cyclist between the ages of 16 and 22. During this time Josef was part of the National Cycling Team. Naturally he wanted to be in charge of his own mechanical repairs and this is where his love for bike servicing began. Josef studied Sports Sciences for 8 years at Heidelberg University. After gaining his Masters Degree he worked as a Sports Therapist at a Mental Health Clinic in Germany for 17 years. Upon arriving in Australia in 2012 he decided to go back to his passion and become a full time bike mechanic. We are lucky Josef lives in Mullumbimby and joined our workshop team in mid 2021.

Meet the rest of our team

Dave Lisle is a committed cyclist with scars to prove it. He has spent the last two decades doing little of consequence besides bike riding. Dave has undertaken multiple, multi-year intercontinental and transcontinental bike journeys, and myriad rambles from his Mullumbimby base. He finds joy in the simple act of riding a bike, and as a bicycle advocate, likes to point out that a bike powered by a human is the most efficient way that any animal has ever moved through space. Dave keeps the books at True Wheel Cycles.

For the last 15 years Deb Fuller has enjoyed being actively involved in local community projects and sports clubs. Deb started distance running and years later discovered the benefits of cycling. Over the last 13 years Deb has competed in road racing, criterium, time trial events and is now a fully committed triathlete. When she isn’t swimming, running, riding rail trails or cycling up mountains she is working part-time at True Wheels ensuring the ordering and administration tasks are done.
