About NZ Bicycle Training Academy
After more than 40 years in the industry, I decided to combine the knowledge that I gained and offer my services as an independent trainer, consultant and fleet mechanic. I set up the NZ Bicycle Training Academy (NZBTA) to continue supporting and upskilling bicycle mechanics of all levels. I have always very much enjoyed training others and sharing my knowledge.

Rene’s experience in the bicycle industry
- 45+ years in Bicycle repairs
- 25+ years in training Bicycle Trade mechanics (mostly as the formerly known Shimano Service Centre training)

Why choosing NZBTA for your training?
This type of training used to be always connected to bicycle importers. However now it is a separate business and it is open to everyone, industry or private. The NZBTA provides all mechanics with the opportunity to come and increase knowledge and skills in a supportive and personalised environment. My training is hands-on real-life experience, not theory-based or like information from an in-experienced person on the Internet. 1,700 and counting mechanics around NZ will vouch for this.
