The Bike Station in Tollcross is back! We are open for bike sales, repairs, wee bike library pickups and all our usual services. However, Fix Your Own Bike will return a little later- the next FYOB session will be on Wednesday 9 September, 5-8pm. More details here: https://www.thebikestation.org.uk/fix-your-own-bike
We hope to see you there!

The Bike Station Tollcross will be back soon! We are so excited to open the doors this Friday (28 August). Sales and repairs will all be available as usual - however fix your own bike (FYOB) will not run this Saturday.

Thank you to everyone for your patience while we have been closed due to unforeseen circumstances. Need something before Friday? Our Gorgie branch is still open!

We have a bunch of bike maintenance classes at The Bike Station in Gorgie on 5th, 12th and 19th September - from beginner to intermediate levels, from fixing punctures to changing cables, everyone is welcome.
More information about the level for each class and bookings via our website: https://www.thebikestation.org.uk/maintenance-classes

Due to unforeseen circumstances our Tollcross branch will be closed for at least three days, starting tomorrow (Thursday 20 August). We're sorry if you were planning to visit us! We will provide more information about re-opening as soon as possible.
Our Gorgie branch is open as usual.

Here at the Bike Station, we believe everything starts with a bike. And donated bikes are the foundation of everything we do! We love giving bikes a new life by refurbishing and selling them, but we also rely on donated bikes to support our community activities: Kids Bike Life, our free Wee Bike Library, and more.
If you like what we do, why not donate your old bike to help support all of our work?

Schools are going back soon... how do the holidays always go so fast?
We can't wait to jump back into our Kids Bike Life activities with local schools: bring on the bike buses, free cycle training to children and adults, bike maintenance and more!
We couldn't do our Kids Bike Life programme without donated bikes of all sizes. Thinking of getting rid of a bike? Donate it to us so we can keep supporting local kids to discover the magic of cycling!

August is one of the busiest months for us at the Bike Station - and we love seeing so many people wanting to cycle in the summer!
If you love it too, why not donate a bike to help satisfy that Autumn demand? Your used bike could have a whole new life, and donating it to us to resell also helps us to provide our community programmes removing barriers to cycling.

Every child deserves the chance to ride a bike.

By supporting The Bike Station, you're helping us refurbish children's bikes, keep our Wee Bike Library running, and remove financial barriers that stop families from accessing cycling.

Together, we're helping children build confidence, stay active, and enjoy the simple joy of riding—while giving bikes a second (and third, and fourth!) life.

🚲 Whether you donate a bike, spread the word, volunteer, or support our work, you're helping create more smiles on two wheels.

Thank you for helping us keep Scotland moving.
