Scotland Welcomes You

Discover All There Is To See And Do!

Scotland Bicycle Hire Shops

Updated 3 February, 2020

CyclingIf you’re visiting Scotland, or if like me, you’re a fair weather or occasional cyclist, then hiring a bicycle would probably be more cost effective than actually buying one.

I have put together this handy directory of Scotland bicycle hire. More and more people are taking to cycling around Scotland as an ideal way to see the best of the country on some of our excellent cycle tracks.

And with all the fitness benefits that come with good exercise, it’s easy to see why bicycle shops are booming. For regular cyclists, owning your own bicycle is probably your best option, but with some people the biggest problem is storage space. If you’re short of space in the home or garage, then hiring a bicycle solves the problem.

The ‘Bicycle capital of Scotland’ has to be Millport, on the Isle of Cumbrae. It’s the only town on the Island, and Cumbrae’s so small that a bike ride round the Island will take you on a journey of just 10.25 miles. There are cycle hire shops here offering hundreds of bicycles between them, and although not all of them have a website, you will find them when you get there, trust me. So, Scotland bicycle hire has to start in Millport which can be reached from Largs with a nice, leisurely 10 minute Ferry Crossing.
