Back when I was in Wellington, I had no intention of talking with Dan at Bicycle Junction, mostly because I didn't know much about him and the shop. After a few days cycling around, seeing the shop, their social media and the odd things going on, I was curious. I stepped in and had a coffee, watched everything go by and was fascinated by what Dan was doing, from the style of bikes, the coffee shop, the layout of the space and the odd-looking bikes parked outside.

Dan sat down to take me through his journey to where he is now, his motivation for doing what he loves and the true purpose to why he setup Bicycle Junction. This show was setup around this idea of exploring the way the cycling industry is shifting and changing and Dan's story is a key part of that change that is focused, niche and offers something different.
