Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative

Passionately independent since 1977

In 1977 three bike enthusiasts disagreed with the corporate antics of the bike shops they came across. Their dream was to create a customer centred bike shop; where workers had an equal say, and profits would be shared. It was out of this dream that the Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative was born! Originally starting out with just one shop in the Bruntsfield area of Edinburgh (which we still have), we now employ over 100 people across our five stores and head office. Always wanting to support the current and next generations of cyclists, we stock a range of bikes including hybrid bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes and kids bikes. We are known as the “e-bike experts” as we were early adopters of electric bikes and we now also stock electric cargo bikes - ideal for families or businesses wanting an eco-friendly and convenient way to travel.
