Bike Workshop & Café in Napier, NZ

Hi, we’re Harry and Airi – and we’re the people behind Pedalista.
We started this little workshop and café because we love bikes, we love coffee, and we love the connections they create.

We actually met while blueberry picking in Tolaga Bay, surrounded by beautiful beaches and nature. That unexpected meeting turned into a shared dream: to build a space where people could come together, slow down, and enjoy good bikes and even better coffee.

Harry’s from Whakatāne and spent his student years studying teaching and cycling all over New Zealand and Australia. For years, he dreamed about creating a place that celebrated bike culture and coffee culture under one roof.
Airi’s from Japan and has worked in hospitality, cafés, and museums. Coming to New Zealand was a personal challenge – a way to step out of her comfort zone and grow in a new environment full of creativity and warmth.

Pedalista is the result of all that: a place where you can get your bike fixed, enjoy a really good brew, and feel right at home. Whether you're a serious cyclist, a casual cruiser, or just stopping by for a chat – we’re so glad you’re here.
