Title
Bike Shop - Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative
Description
Edinburgh is the city where we started, and where we are still based. Our shop in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, has long been recognised as the best-stocked bicycle store in Scotland. You can now experience a similar offer at our branches in George Street, Aberdeen, and Union Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Bicycles are our passion. To quote the Pulitzer Prize-winning Californian novelist, William Saroyan, ‘The bicycle is the noblest invention of mankind. I love the bicycle. I always have. I can think of no sincere, decent human being, male or female, young or old, saint or sinner, who can resist the bicycle.’
Cooperative is how we organise ourselves. Every full-time Edinburgh Bicycle worker becomes a co-op member, with an equal share in the business, after serving a 1-year ‘apprenticeship’. We now have 46 co-op members - a record number. We trust that this staff involvement will always manifest itself in the form of friendly, informed professional advice whenever you visit one of our shops, or give us a call, or use our secure online service.
