Jobs
Quite a few people have cycle related jobs in Edinburgh. Most work in bike shops. More bikes on the roads should mean more jobs for mechanics.
The Bike Station is a bike recycling project which encourages cycling in various ways including delivering Cycle Training. It employs half a dozen people full time plus various on a session basis.
Hire a Pedicab, hard work but can be lucrative. Read about it in .citycycling.
At least one person takes cycle tours.
Several courier companies employ cyclists.
Try citycouriers (started as a cycle only business) or jobs@qedcouriers.com 0845 123 1230 or stop a courier and ask!
The Council has a few people dealing mostly with cycling issues. Would be good if it had a few more…
“Ever wished you could ride a bike for a living? Cycling for Profit: How to Make a Living With Your Bike describes how to do just that”
