Rainbow Cycles is owned and operated by family of dedicated cyclists. Daniel and his father Ed, together with their wives, Amy and Judy, are passionate about serving the cyclists of the mid north coast and catering for all their cycling needs.

Ed and Judy settled on the Mid North Coast 30 years again and raised their children in the rural communities of Raleigh and Bellingen. As the family grew cycling quickly became a large part of family life. Holidays always meant seven bikes loaded onto an Ed designed and built rack mounted onto the top of the trailer filled with camping gear. The love and challenge of cycling is still a family affair with daughters/son-in-laws and grandchildren all being swept up along the line.

Eventually the eldest son found himself working for the previous owners of Rainbow Cycles, Wally and Sue Sims. In fact it was Wally who first introduced the family to mountain biking years previously. Six years later the current owners bought the business from the Sims. The owners and staff at Rainbow Cycles are all dedicated and active cyclists collectively participating in social, club and competitive events:-
