In a fresh new space with a fresh new look, there’s a new kid on the block in Wodonga’s latest retail centre, Bakery Hill, and it’s a renowned local bike business the community has loved for more than 12 years.

With a new name and a new location, a walk into @‌Border Bikes Albury Wodonga immediately feels familiar with the knowledgeable staff and family-friendly servicing locals have known and loved at Cycle Station, previously located near Albury Train Station.

Owner Geoff O’Neill said he had been contemplating a move to south of the border for some time and is excited for the business to settle into its new home in Wodonga.

“A fresh start and the big move crossing the border has definitely been positive so far,” Geoff said.

“Building community, supporting local families and encouraging them to find a fresh passion for riding and experiencing all the incredible trails across North East Victoria gets all of us excited.”

Border Bikes proudly specialises in helping riders of all ages and abilities find the perfect bike. Their expert repairs and bike servicing include tune-ups and builds, adjustments, part installations and personal bike fits.

The business’s relocation earlier in March brings it closer to the regions incredible network of mountain bike trails throughout North East Victoria, including the High Country Rail Trail and countless other scenic routes in the area.

Wodonga is growing and council’s 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒕 𝑩𝒖𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔-𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟕 sets out how we plan to keep supporting the services, infrastructure and projects our community relies on.

The draft budget proposes a 2.38 per cent rate increase, which is below the Victorian Government rate cap, while continuing to invest in important projects across the city.

This includes renewals for roads, footpaths and bridges, youth-focused funding, continued work at Logic Industrial Estate and new facilities at the Wodonga Exhibition Centre to support future emergency response.

We want to hear what you think before the draft budget is considered for adoption.
