Get out on your bike: what to do coming out of lockdown in Edinburgh
Here in Edinburgh we are delighted we are now permitted to go cycling with someone from another household. We have seen a massive uptake in the use of bikes across the city. This is fabulous, it has been lovely to have quiet roads too. We are looking forward to starting up our regular bike tours again and to seeing tourists return to our rather quiet city.
Get Out On a Bike.
Meanwhile if you live in Edinburgh we are delighted to let you know that our guides are here to help you make the most of our fabulous cycling opportunities. You can use your own bike or use one of ours. We have a variety of shapes and sizes of bikes, suitable for all abilities.

COVID – 19 cycling
At our Leith bike depot we have hand sanitisers and alcohol disinfectant, plus we have plenty of space and can easily keep to the 2 m social distancing whilst sorting out a bike for you to use. Then, of course our bike tours are outside in the fresh, often fast moving air of Edinburgh (a windy city) … cycling is the perfect sport for getting out and about in Covid times.
Our guides are more than happy to discuss their personal experiences with you. They will share all the information you’ll need to get to work safely by bike and on time. Talk to your guides for tips on route planning, what to pack, what to wear, checking your bike before you go, what to do if you puncture on the way. Hope to see you soon!

We booked the city tour which took you through the city centre and out to Portobello. Apart from a couple of hills at the beginning the ride itself is relatively flat. There were only the two of us plus our guide, Andy, which was great. What a brilliant few hours we had with Andy! When… Super friendly efficient service. Kathy was so helpful in arranging our booking. Our guide was just lovely, Sandrine, who was so knowledgeable and friendly made the experience really good. COVID-19 responsible and we couldn’t have asked for a better travel bike tour experience. Such a fab way to see the city and more! Thank you When we last visited and took the city centre tour the coast and bridges tour was recommended. As expected, tours aren’t back to full operation so we contacted Kathy to see whether there was a possibility of running this and she kindly arranged our own tour. This is a beautiful ride along the coastline of…
