Who we are
We are an Edinburgh-based bike shop with a difference! We are an inclusive and welcoming active travel advocacy hub - we want better cycling skills for the Edinburgh community, to equip people with the skills to repair and maintain their own bike, for cycling to be more accessible to people from all walks of life, and to have better cycling infrastructure in the city. We want all of this to happen without it costing the Earth!

Mark and Mary were thoughtful and generous through the whole process, from spending time finding the right bike for me to patiently letting me help assemble it. The space is made so welcoming by their warmth and hospitality and many cups of tea, and really embodies its role as a community hub rather than just a bike shop.

I had a really great experience with the Wee Spoke Hub! They repaired the brakes on my (wheelchair) handbike! He even explained to me how I can do it myself the next time. I would really recommend this shop for anyone, and also for wheelchair users with handbike's. Also the vibe here is really great, you feel welcome and everyone is nice! They have knowledge of what they're doing.

It was amazing - everyone was lovely and really helpful, and I felt very comfortable asking questions, which isn't something that usually happens.
