Brilliant bike hire

Published on May, 2025

Great service. I emailed them at the end of the day and bike was booked straight away for the next day. Bike was in great condition and the map and audio guidance app took me from Inverness to Loch Ness with no issue. Loved my day out. Would highly recommend.

Great company.

Amazingly well maintained bikes and extremely helpful and accommodating staff. Scored amazing weather on our ride from Inverness to Dores at Loch Ness.

We couldn't have asked for a better service!

Published on May, 2025

4 of us hired hybrid bikes to do a couple of days touring locally whilst staying in Inverness . We couldn't have asked for a better service! The bikes themselves were in tip top condition (nearly brand new; all kitted out with lights; very well maintained) , as were the helmets and panniers. Most importantly, Lindsay and his team were super friendly and helpful, even at the booking stage. They had suggested routes to us , and also let us keep the bikes for a few hours extra at the last minute when we got stuck. The routes locally are all stunning! We enjoyed short rides to Culloden, Cawdor and Nairns but didn't have time for longer rides. We'd love to come back and hire the bikes for longer, and explore further afield! A huge thank-you!

Recommend a nice ride in Inverness
