Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative is a bicycle retailer with eight stores across Scotland and Northern England, and an online store selling worldwide.[1][2]
The co-operative is the longest established worker co-operative in Scotland, having originally been founded as a bicycle repair service in Edinburgh in 1977.[3] In recent years the co-operative has grown to be, arguably, the dominant bicycle retailer in Scotland and Northern England, with the largest bicycle stores in each respective city.[4][5]
The business offers products from many leadings brands alongside products from its own "Revolution" brand.
