Terms

We own holiday cottages and our bikes are provided primarily for the use of our guests as an additional service. This website has recently been established to offer bike hire services to other guests in the area but we are not a professional bike hire company and accept no liability for the correct training and use and adjustment of bikes for guests. Our bikes are located in Stronachlachar, Loch Katrine, FK8 3TY. If you are staying in a cottage nearby we will deliver the bikes to you. The seats have quick release handles for easy adjustment and must be adjusted by the guest before use.The bikes are used at the guests own risk. They are designed for local touring and gentle forest tracks. We recommend you bring your own cycle helmets. We have medium size helmets available only (The Trax Furnace Cycle Helmet, Adult/youth cycle helmet , Exceeds British safety standards BS EN1078 , Medium size: 54cm - 58cm) We will provide a spare inner tube, pump and repair kit for each party. We may be able to fix punctures or change inner tubes but there will be an additional charge. The bikes have reflectors fitted but do not have lights as they are for local use during the day only and are to be returned to the cottages each day. We cannot offer a collection service should you get into difficulty on your trip, however there may be a bike rack available at the cottage for your use should you require it. We reserve the right to charge for any damage or loss caused to bikes. There is a limited supply of bikes. Maximum group size is 10. We recommend enquiring and booking well in advance of your intended hire date.
