Cycling

Whether you want a leisurely guided trip along the valley floors, a chance to explore the riverbanks, or are looking for a full-on downhill mountain biking experience, Adventure Aberdeen’s fully qualified instructors will help choose the best trip to suit your aspirations.

Adventure Aberdeen instructors can help you enjoy a biking experience in the north-east, with support to choose a trip suited to your aims and confidence level.

Rock Up & Ride is a Scottish Cycling project, funded by Nestrans, aiming to reduce barriers to adult and child cycling in Aberdeen.

The project focuses on the priority neighbourhoods of Torry, Northfield, and St Machar, as well as under-represented groups in cycling.

Rock Up & Ride offers two-wheeled cycling opportunities for beginners and those looking to build their cycling confidence, as well as volunteering opportunities for more experienced riders.

The current community cycling page also includes led rides, access to project bikes, and a focus on women and girls, families, and under-represented groups.

Grampian Inclusive Cycling Bothies

Grampian Inclusive Cycling Bothies is a partnership between Sport Aberdeen and Grampian Disability Sport which is funded by Nestrans to make adapted cycling more accessible.

The GICB project runs free adapted cycling sessions in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. These take place in traffic-free environments and participants are welcome to cycle as much or as little as they like.

We have a wide variety of adapted cycles, including handcycles, recumbent cycles and trikes. Sessions are led by qualified ride leaders who can provide support and advice to help you find the cycle best suited for your needs.

The GICB team runs free adapted cycling sessions in Aberdeen at the cycling hub in Seaton.

Cycling Without Age

Sport Aberdeen hosts Cycling Without Age Scotland, an intergenerational project that helps people who are isolated or have mobility issues to get outdoors.

The project aims to give people with limited mobility an opportunity to experience the joy of cycling in their later years.

Volunteers help people enjoy trips on Trishaws and wheelchair accessible bikes, supporting social interaction, new friendships, health and wellbeing, and community connection.
