Bike Buddy during lockdown

Book a Bike Buddy – this is the experience of just one of our happy customers – THANKS Morag & Sandrine!

“During lockdown I was keen to get out on my bike for some exercise. However the cycle paths near me were very crowded, and too narrow to practise social distancing. I occasionally went out for what felt like aimless cycles on the nearby roads early in the morning when it was quiet.

When I saw Edinburgh Bike Tours advertising bike buddy rides in late June I wondered if they could help me find manageable routes, about an hour long in my area. Previously I was largely a cycle path bicyclist and thought maybe now was the time to gain a bit of confidence on the roads while they are quieter.

Sandrine has been a great help and increased my confidence in cycling. She has helped me with the technicalities of cycling; balance, efficient gear changing, where to sit in the road and importantly in Edinburgh how to manage potholes! We have found new routes and I have enjoyed her company as one of my two households a day! Having talked about it for years I am finally on the hunt for a bike rack for my car so that I can easily access other parts of the city and increase the routes available to me!Book yourself a bike buddy! You won’t regret it!”

Coast and Castles

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…
