...right then, welcome to TBC.
Firstly, thanks for clicking on us and coming to visit.
We concentrate first and foremost on being a 'good shop'. Somewhere you can come for sound advice and to speak to people who do actually want to be at work helping you pick out your new products.
Bikes are meant to be fun so we try and make sure we keep it that way. We can deal with beginner enquiries right through to pro level so we have most bases covered and if we can't help, we won't lie to you, we just help you find where it is best to go.
Here are just some of the special things we do as Edinburghs premier Local Bike Shop
1. GoPro HD Helmet Camera Hire
Hire a GoPro HD Camera from us with a 32gb memory card for a reasonable £10 per 48 hour period. Ideal for those weekend rides to new places or maybe you are racing and fancy getting it all on camera?
2. Going on bike holiday? Well you can hire a Bike Pod from us for the trip.
Call us for a quote dependant on time away. Guideline - hire a case worth £450 for just £35 per 7 day booking.
3. Need a tool kit for a weekend? Tool Hire
You can hire an £800 pro tool kit from us for £15 per 48 hour period. Maybe you have a new bike to build? Or want to try your own repairs? This will make all the difference!
4. Free tea and coffee in store while you browse - you just have to ask
Unlike some shops, we don't charge you for a brew while you spend time in our shop. Come and take a wander, have a chat and chill with like minded individuals.
5. Shop Noticeboard - Free Ad Display
Got a ride planned or had your bike pinched? Well come and put up a sign on our noticeboard for free.
6. We are famous for our no-jargon approach to new comers to our exciting sport
If you are intimidated by specialist shops then fear no longer. We adopt a pretty relaxed and welcoming approach to all, especially people looking to get into riding bikes for the first time. We won't talk down to you and we will help you work out what it is you are needing regardless of wether we sell it or not.
7. We keep a good stock of shoes and clothing and encourage you to come and try kit on
We can't keep everything in all the time, but we do make an effort to keep in the most common sizes and styles so you can come and get the right advice before you buy
8. Buy any mountain bike over £1500 from us and you get a free Ridelines Coaching weekend
You get a weekend of tuition from Ridelines at Glentress to teach you how to ride like a legend - simply ask in store when ordering your new mtb and we will get you booked on a course.
9. We have a Live Chat function on every page so you can get in touch with us.
Ask us for advice on what to buy and advice on where to ride locally just by pressing a button
10. We care. We know we only survive because you guys come to visit us and spend your money with us.
To this end, we make sure you get treated right and never talked down too. We are totally non-elitist! Some may say we are a little too chilled out but we hope it's just right!
