After only a short, very successful time, Eastside Bikes Is For Sale.

After Much thought, my Wife and I have decided to move back to the States, Leaving an Amazing opportunity for someone to take over. Email :eastsidebikes@hotmail.com

We are now open Tuesdays – Fridays 10am – 6pm & Saturdays 10am – 3pm.

Closed Sundays and Mondays.

See you soon.

East Side Bikes will be closed from 17th September till 7th October.  We look forward to seeing you then.

Till then…Holiday

Over the summer of 2008 Cycling Scotland asked you for your ideas on actions that would encourage people to cycle more often and what should be included in a Cycling Action Plan for Scotland (CAPS). The CAPS consultation document was published on the Scottish Government website on 28 May and the consultation period will run until 20 August 2009.

If you want to take this chance to tell them if they got the actions right and if there is anything else missing click here to find out more.

This Saturday we are going to be on a mission…again

We’ve got a hot tip on where to find some used bikes that need a little care and attention to become great bikes again – so we won’t be opening the shop.
We will however be back to usual hours on Monday (with new used stock!)

Come by and see us next week to see what beauties we’ve picked up over the weekend.

Making the journey across the pond to visit the largest bicycle trade show in the America’s – Interbike.

Looking forward to checking out all the new garb, toys, and bling that will be flooding the market soon and hopefully coming back with some one-off products…stay tuned for details.

Meanwhile we’re keeping busy in the shop with repairs and trying to stock up on new product for all.

If you’re looking for a bike or need a part  stop by and see what we’ve got and what we can do to help.

See you soon

This Saturday we are going to be on a mission – the kind of mission we totally love and live for – finding used bikes that need a little care and attention to become great bikes again – so we won’t be opening the shop.

“Riding a bike allows a person to pack more life into a day.  The time spent driving to the store, to work, caught in traffic, attention vaguely drifting from the road ahead to the radio and back, is so nondescript, so forgettable, it is lost forever.  On the bike, it is vastly different.  This is actual living.  Blood and oxygen pumping, muscles straining.  There is a sense of being a true part of the world, a participant in one’s own life, rather than simply watching it pass by on a big screen.”

Robert Hurst, The Art of Urban Cycling

Edinburgh’s alternative bicycle shop is  now open.
