WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CO-OP
We are proud to be an employee-owned cooperative since 1977!
Our founders, Gerry, Chris, and Morag believed that being a cooperative was a fairer, better way of doing things. The philosophy of Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative is to provide a welcoming and friendly environment run by staff that are trustworthy and knowledgeable.
After working with us for a year, every employee is invited to become a member of the cooperative with an equal share in the business. So, we’re all in it together, and that’s what makes the bike coop a great place to be!
