RCC past, present and future
Opening its doors in 1996 through the drive of well respected Australian cyclist John Buckley, River City Cycles has grown and expanded in its 12 year history. On the back of Australian Champion, John Buckley and long serving (10 years) Craig Saunders, the business has taken accolades' from Queensland's best Bike shop in 1999 as well as best shop employee in Craig for both the years of 1998-99.
Building on 8 years of loyal experience and service, the passing of the River City flame occurred in late 2005 with Craig Saunders and Bernard Curran purchasing the business from John. Craig, bringing with him years of retail cycling experience, as well as years of race experience representing his once home land of New Zealand along with Bernard's Finance skills and broad industry knowledge are taking the business forward in 2010 and beyond.
On 1 June 2024 River City Cycles tragically lost Craig. Local resident and owner of Rival Bikes, David Agudelo, acquired River City Cycles. David brings road racing and bike shop ownership experience to River City Cycles. Raised and still living in Fairfield, having attended Yeronga State School and now with children of his own at Yeronga State School and Hyde Rd Kindy he is very much a local boy. The River City flame is once again passed on to another generation of local and small family business.
