However, they are currently back on line due to a loan of a number of iPhones from Uber (again credit where it is due). Hence the slowness at getting the donate button on the website.</p> <p>The Bike Station is insured but, unfortunately not as well insured as it could have been (it is easy to be wise after the event) so any help or donations will be very welcome. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17084#post-234903 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 18:03:03 +0000 chdot 234903@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Previous thread -</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17041" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17041</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17084#post-234901 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 17:48:12 +0000 Kim 234901@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just in case anyone hasn't heard The Bike Station has suffered as serious fire and the main building is currently boarded up. </p> <p>However, the staff and volunteers have been working vary hard to get things up and running again, and The Bike Station will be re-opening for business at 10:00 on Tuesday 1st November (next week) from the warehouse at 244 Causewayside (that is two doors up from the main building).
