About 99 Bikes
We opened the doors of our first shop in May 2007. The Milton shop was led by Matt Turner and was a small 170m2 - only fitting 99 bikes into the building.
A team of four kept the shop open seven days a week, twelve hours a day with one tiny room tripling as a workshop, office and stock room.
The integral team grew to 8 as our Milton shop flourished and our second shop was opened in Underwood. Most of the original team are still with us today.
Matt continued to use the advice of his father, Graham ‘Skroo’ Turner to evolve systems and processes in alignment with Flight Centre - a business model which has demonstrated success since 1981.
