Mission & Strategy

Our mission is to keep Lanarkshire mentally and physically well through cycling culture. Using a grassroots approach, the Cairney Cycles will see the bike at the core of STEM education to create “in the workshop” and “in the saddle” career paths for future mechanics. We’ll generate revenue to operate a community owned cycle shop that is sustainable in employing a well-trained team from all walks of life.

Where required we’ll be supported by our partners such as other community centres, industry specialists and the third sector we can achieve the vision as a sustainable social business under our three operational pillars:

· Repairing bikes professionally and affordably.

· Shopping access to affordable cycles, new and refurbished as well as cycling spares and equipment.

· Learning access to cycling knowledge, providing equipment and training suitable for all.

Doing ma bit

Connor has a thing for recycling, up-cycling, living green and using sustainable brands. That's why we choose how and who we do business with very carefully.

You can get your bike serviced knowing that metal and rubber waste are all recycled none of which we send to landfill. With any tyres purchased or changed at Cairney Cycles, recycling is included in the cost.

Working with Velorim we never send tyres to landfill, they are recycled into multipurpose materials for playgrounds, equestrian fields and much more.

Don't throw bicycle tyres away in Lanarkshire, get in touch and we can dispose of them for a small administration charge.

Using the best brands

I only use Muc-Off brand products for servicing cycles at the workshop this is both the best quality in the field as well as environmentally friendly. Containing no harmful PTFE chemicals that can work their way into our water supply.

If you live in Lanarkshire you should join the green revolution and purchase Muc-Off cleaning products direct from us, they're typically cheaper than your highstreets store prices, delivered to your door!
