Located in Merkinch, Inverness, The Bike Shed provides the local crowd with a safe and friendly environment to gather, have a chat and be themselves.
The Bike Shed owes its name to the bikes used to decorate the interior and exterior of the café. Bikes, wood, art and cheerful quotes create a friendly and welcoming environment for the local people to gather. Dave Saunders, a Methodist pioneer in Inverness for nearly 12 years and a woodworker, was the instigator of the Bike Shed: “There wasn’t a local, affordable coffee shop in the area where people could meet.”
The Bike Shed is now a successful non-commercial venue with the support of the Methodist Church and the volunteers who help to run it.
