The Tri Centre becomes PLANETX

What used to be Edinburgh’s specialist shop for triathletes is now for ROAD//TRI//MOUNTAIN//CROSS//URBAN!

PLANETX is probably best known to Edinburgh cyclists as an on-line retailer of ‘interesting bikes’ often at ‘reasonable prices’.

”
Our Edinburgh store is now open. It’s in a great location on South Clerk street and is easy to get to so drop in and say hi, take a look at the 40 bikes on display and have a delicious coffee while you’re there. Full workshop and bike fitting facilities are in place plus a great range of clothing, parts, accessories and nutrition. 57-59 South Clerk Street

Site update (in progress)

Since this site was created there have been various changes to bicycle maintenance and retail services in Edinburgh.

Perhaps the most significant is the closure of long established retailer Macdonald’s.

Bicycle Repair Man too –

Hart’s Cyclery has evolved from mobile to shop. There are new shops in Stockbridge and Leith and a new repair business opening in the Southside soon.

Not a new business, just missed from the original list for this site.

Another new shop!

Second bike shop opening in Edinburgh this week.

Though strictly this is a re-location and replacement.

Eastside Bikes has moved round the corner onto the main road into what used to be Sandy Gilchrist’s (and more recently the Abbeyhill branch of Leith Cycles).
