The Bike Station Edinburgh

Exciting news - We're trialling Fix Your Own Bike (FYOB) sessions at our Gorgie hub!

Know how to fix your own bike but haven't got all the tools or space you need? This is exactly what our sessions are for! There is no booking required and we operate on a first come, first served basis. £6.00/hour

We look forward to seeing you soon

That bike gathering dust in your shed could be the start of someone else's journey.

At The Bike Station, we believe in bikes as a vehicle for change. Every suitable bike that's donated is carefully assessed, refurbished by our skilled mechanics, and given a new lease of life.

Instead of ending up as waste, your bike could help someone travel to work, get active, build confidence, or simply rediscover the joy of cycling.

If you have a bike you no longer use, consider donating it and help keep bikes (and people) moving.

📍 Donations can be dropped off at our Gorgie and Perth shops during opening hours. Info on our website.

Before you visit, please check our website for guidance on the types of bikes we're able to accept: https://www.thebikestation.org.uk/donating-a-bike

So many happy smiley faces at our Pitcairn Bike Bus today!

Bike buses allow children and young people to ride to school safely in a highly visible group supervised by adults. They provide a fun, active, and social way to travel, transforming daily commuting into a community experience.

It’s just one of the ways The Bike Station is making cycling more accessible. By supporting these young people to access the benefits of cycling (improved cardiovascular health, concentration, mental wellbeing and more) from a younger age we are empowering the next generation to embrace sustainable travel and continue cycling into adulthood! 🚲
