Evening classes

Winter evening classes at the Bike Station.

To book, please phone 0131 668 1996 or email info @thebikestation.org.uk

You'll need to bring your own bike - that way, you'll learn how to fix YOUR bike. If you don't have a bike, that's not a problem, just let us know and we will sort something out.  Also - if you have a specialist bike (Brompton, disk brakes...) contact us when booking.
