Edinburgh friends, I'm thinking of buying a bike for the first time in quite a few years (early 50s guy here!). I'm probably looking for a hybrid for city and non-MTB use.

My question is: what friendly bike shops in the city would you recommend? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on a new bike, but have no recent experience in any of this!

Thanks in advance!

@brian I’ve found the Bike Coop in Bruntsfield to be pretty good, but I’m sure there are many others too.
You might get more opinions on the CCE forum

Thanks Donald. I had a bit of an unhelpful experience with the Bike Coop, which was probably my fault but I’m slightly wary. Will check out the CCE forum, thanks, and am already following @edi_dot_bike - great account!

@brian fair enough, it was quite a few years ago I got my bike there, and it sometimes just depends who you speak to

@drnoble

Yeah, totally agree. I know they have a good reputation - just one of those things, I think.
