Cycle Crieff is a community interest project, based around three themes:
Sharing the local routes to help establish and promote Crieff as a two wheeled hub, supporting local and visiting cyclists. In addition we aim to encourage cycling as a social activity which enhances mental and physical well-being. Click here to explore our routes.
As a qualified aeronautical engineer, with over 30 years cycle maintenance experience, it was a natural step to set up a repair and support element for Cycle Crieff. We have Velotech technicians who are happy to support visiting and local cyclists to keep their bikes working.
We reuse donated/rescued bikes, providing minimum cost cycles for those who need them. We have access to bikes donated at the Crieff recycling centre. However we are happy to collect direct from any donor. Any excess bikes are donated to Bikes for Africa.
Cycle Crieff is a not for profit community project to support cycling in and around Crieff.
Donations are welcome.
Being a centrally located little Scottish Town, Crieff has access to fantastic quiet, enjoyable tracks, country roads and breathtaking highland scenery. Crieff is less than an hour’s vehicle journey to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee. Our routes pass through some great locations and have local facilities and cafes.
Crieff is well recognised as a holiday destination and is an ideal base for exploring by cyclists. Come and see what it has to offer and take roads less travelled. We have fantastic local amenities and the opportunity to do other activities such as single pitch rock climbing, Kayaking, Canoeing, river and Loch swimming and lovely local walks such as Lady Mary’s and Turleum Hill. There are community sports facilities and cultural exploration such as galleries and spa treatments.
In addition Crieff offers an excellent Café/ Restaurant culture and please contact us if you want any personal recommendations. There is a full range of dietary options at most of our cafes and restaurants.
There is quality accommodation available locally Spa hotels, luxury B & Bs. There are friendly campsites, motorhome parking and quiet self-catering riverside cottages among our wide range of accommodation.
All of our cycle routes run through through stunning locations, including the Crieff and the wider rural Perthshire area, North Fife, Dundee and beyond.
ExploreWe offer ‘back on your bike’ courses to help all sections of the community to understand how to keep their bikes safe and rideable.
Coaching/leading for those riders wanting to explore the local routes is on offer and this can also include safe riding and fundamental skills. Please contact us for bookings and availability.
We will always work to ensure you have these opportunities so please get in touch and better still grab a friend or child to come along. Make sure it’s your own child!
Once using Komoot, you can find the best rides in an area…as opposed to just any ride. You can search by ride (or walk) type, area or interest on their website. It’s set up so you can search a specific area, or just browse different regions, which is a fun way to start planning a stay in Crieff.
This is the first stage of our journey and we hope you are able to support us and encourage cyclists to stay in Crieff and enjoy the routes and local facilities.
