Edinburgh Bike Station launches crowdfunder after flooding
An Edinburgh bike charity has launched a crowdfunder after their workshop was affected by flash flooding. The Bike Station’s basement workshop in Tollcross was forced to close for eight days, after torrential rain caused their underground workshop to flood on 19 August. Their team was able to get the shop back up and running in “record time”, but the work stoppage caused a 30% drop in bike repairs compared to the previous month. Thousands of pounds of revenue were lost at what is usually the workshop’s busiest time of year.
