The
bike was invented by a Scotsman, Kirkpatrick Macmillan,
in 1840. For long, it languished under the label
of "poor man's transport". The advent
of the mountain bike has propelled the once-humble
bike into the forefront of the leisure industry.
It's quickly been adopted across age group. (If
you can't bring a bike, don't worry. You'll be able
to hire one almost anywhere). With
a bike and the network of rural roads that covers
this part of the world, you'll be able to cycle
safely and peacefully almost anywhere, the occasional
flock of sheep or tractor apart! Use a bike to
find the forests of Moray, or explore the lesser-known
ways by the river Spey, or take to the hill roads
of Donside.
Simple off-road cycling options include the Speyside
Way where you can also take in a distillery or
two, or the Formartine and Buchan Way, which provides
the best way to see the rolling farmland of Aberdeenshire.
