BEST BIKES: Deus Ex Machina

Deus Ex Machina literally means “god from the machine” – and after fifteen minutes in this store, bike fans will think they’ve found heaven. Perhaps best known for its custom-made fixed-gears and limited edition Deus shirts, the Camperdown shop also stocks bike frames and accessories of all shapes and sizes. Plus, if it all gets too much, you can head next door to the cafe for one of the best burger-and-shake arrangements in town. (Amelia Stein)
