1. Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op opened its first shop in 1977, making it Scotland's longest established workers' co-op.

2. Workers' co-op means that the business is run and owned by the staff. Every worker with at least 1 years full-time experience is a co-op member. We trust that this employee involvement in the business should manifest itself in the level of service you receive.
