Other Community Projects
It's not just our core three programmes; Kids Bike Life, Wee Bike Library and Shifting Gears, we also do a range of other community work across Edinburgh and Perth.
Cargo Bike Schemes: A Regional Snapshot 2026
This report presents an overview of cargo bike borrowing schemes across the region, pulling together key information to map the current landscape. It is intended to give stakeholders a clear, shared understanding of what schemes exist, how they operate, and what data they collect for evaluation and learning.
Prison Project
The Bike Station has worked alongside the Scottish Prison Service since 2006. In 2011, the Bike Station Prisons project was expanded with funding from the Robertson Trust. Currently, we are supporting the continuation of bicycle maintenance workshops in four prisons, including HMYOI Polmont, HMP Perth, and HMP Edinburgh, HMP Shotts.
The bike sheds within the prison setting are designed to offer opportunities to develop vocational skills through learning bicycle maintenance. Each prison has a different operational model, including frequency of sessions and duration of the programme.
