Most of your customers are gay? Or female...

[BikerDazz]

I can appreciate both sides of this argument.

However, we as customers have gotten used to having shops open in the weekends, over recent years (or is it decades now...time slips away).

Personally, I'd bloody hate to have to work in the weekend but for me own selfish reasons would love to browse in bikes shops whenever I felt like it, in the weekend. Just like you can do at caryards etc etc.

Oh, and it would be nice to receive friendly customer service - customer service around this town is generally piss poor. I can't believe employers allow it.

Anyway, I had a very enjoyable ride this morning blatting around the back roads and hope that the bike shop folk have done so too.

I think he used " " because it would appear from reading this thread that that word is a foreign concept to NZ bike shops.

You can browse most motorcycle shops in NZ on Sundays. Via the internet.

What do the Trading laws of the land say about Bike Shops being open Sunday - is it permissible?

No offence Dave. But your wrong.
There are plenty of people out there who want to work sundays. They are called students.
If I were a student and a bike shop needed employees for the weekend - I imagine there would be quite a queue.
1000's of business use (and abuse) this abundant resource, even some bike shops.
