Our Cycling Holiday in Scotland
Come and explore the Highlands of Scotland by bike. We've been helping people with their Scottish cycling holidays since we hired out our first bike in 2007. Since then we have grown the bike hire fleet, expanded the team and developed new transport, luggage storage and bag transfer services for cyclists and walkers.
We are a small team with a broad range of cycling experience. Our hard work and honest advice has been recognised in many five star reviews on sites like Tripadvisor.
Travel restrictions are now being relaxed ahead of schedule in Scotland. Thank you to everyone who has limited their contacts this winter and to those who have delivered the vaccine programme. At last we can all plan for 2021 Scottish cycling holidays. We are now open daily until Halloween.
It is now possible to make holiday bookings with a higher degree of certainty and you should not delay booking your cycling holiday in Scotland. We don't often "sell out" of hire bikes altogether but there are quite small quantities of some types and sizes so making a reservation early is always advisable. Capacity on our cyclist transport service is also finite and with a lot of bookings from 2020 rescheduled into 2021 there are plenty days where we are already at the limit. In the more remote areas like the North Coast 500 and Hebridean Way it is likely that accommodation will be the commodity where supply does not meet demand, so once again make those bookings now to avoid disappointment.
If you are traveling to the Hebrides, to protect our island communities, please read and follow this government advice and test before you travel.
We expect the appeal of the Scottish Highlands to be stronger than ever but don't get the impression that there will be crowds. It is the relative paucity of accommodation in the more sparsely populated parts of the Highlands that necessitates early booking rather than the absolute volume of visitors.
