We are Chris and Hannah. We opened the Cycle Service in Edinburgh in 2014. Our aim is to help keep your bike running smoothly and safely, no matter who you are or what kind of bike you ride. To this end, we have a large range of spare parts in stock to repair everything from the vintage to modern, the swanky to everyday bikes.

We run a booking system and do our best to turn repairs around the same day so you don't have to be without your bike too long. Please give us a call on 0131 662 9243 to book your bike in or ask any questions. We can also be contacted on info@thecycleservice.co.uk but phoning is generally quicker, particularly when we're busy!

Location Report

We are at 50 West Richmond Street, just off Nicholson Street. The Cycle Service is between our lovely neighbours The Richmond Cafe and Bonsai Sushi Bar. We are conveniently located for the Pleasance Gym, Bristo Square, The Crags Sports Centre and Skelf Pump Track. There are sheffield racks just outside the shop and the number 14 bus stops a few metres down the road.

Prices Report

We do too many different repair jobs to list them all, but these are the most common. For larger repairs - When you bring your bike in we will look it over with you. We will then discuss what work is essential for safety and what work would be advisable for efficient and enjoyable cycling. We will then give you an estimated cost and time your bike will be ready.

They tightened up a worn pedal crank for me and gave great advice about where to source a spare. Problem's all sorted now, fantastic service with a smile.

Ive ask for replacement of break pads and the laid said she will not repair my bike because there is small crack near seat..
It’s quick repair but any way she refused to repair it. I’m disappointed...

Would highly recommend.
I had a bad fall with my bike and needed a quick check/fix. The team was really helpful and convenient, squeezing me in briefly in spite of a busy schedule. Did a few extra checks and throw some tips in!
That's what I call customer service!

Great service this morning doing a quick wheel truing on a newly buckled wheel. Helped me out immediately otherwise would have had to abandon my trip. Many thanks!

I've used The Cycle Service twice recently and they have been excellent. Friendly, helpful and quick repairs on both occasions at great value for money prices. Would recommend them to anyone.

Great, friendly, personal and efficient service. Super responsible and conscientious as well (I went in just before the Covid Lockdown and they made sure to wear gloves/sanitize everything etc even before the regulations were made). Hope they can re-open soon, I will be back!

Friendly, helpful and efficient service. The headset on my bike seized on my way to work; I wheeled my bike to The Cycle Service who did a great job of replacing it for a very reasonable price, and sent me a text in the afternoon to let me know it was ready, so I could pick it up after work and cycle home. Perfect!

Fantastic service. They sorted my bike out within 2 days, much sooner than I expected and they fixed the problems I was having with it. Both of the staff I dealt with were extremely friendly and professional. They clearly know what they are talking about and they're very upfront with the prices. I would definitely recommend this place for bicycle repairs. 5 stars isn't enough, but it's the maximum I can give. Thank you guys!

Thank you for servicing my road bike - it works like a Swiss watch which is exactly what I need as taking it to Switzerland in 2 weeks time! Great service Chris!

Been in a couple of times. First to fit brakes and a new inner tube, excellent service and great communication. Gave me a text saying it was ready to pick up 2 hours later. Second time to get my pedal crank tightened up, the lady working there kindly did it for me for free and offered great advice about keeping it in a good nick. 10/10 would recommend. (also very good prices)
