Some of the world's greatest bike brands will be at THRIVE, Scotland's biggest Bike Demo event, whether you want mountain bikes , E bikes or gravel bikes!
If you have specific bikes in mind that you would like to test ride then booking ahead by email is essential.
The cost is £40 per day with the proceeds going to THRIVE to help run the event and fund its goals .
All demo bikes from all brands can be booked in advance by email to info@cyclehighlands.com or on the day by visiting the Cyclehighlands Bike Shop, located behind the church in the centre of Ballater.
The following points should help you plan your demo weekend:
-
A demo bike can be booked for the morning, the afternoon or both. Registration opens at 0800 at Cycle Highlands. The morning session runs from 0900 to 1200 and the afternoon session from 1300 to 1600. This means you can potentially test ride 4 bikes over the weekend.
-
If there is availability, and you wish to try even more bikes, doing shorter test rides then you can try as many bikes as possible. Check availability at Cycle Highlands.
-
You must register each day at Cycle Highlands even if you have booked ahead in order to collect your DEMO PASS. You will need up to date photo ID and a proof of address.
-
All riders under the age of 18 must be registered and accompanied by a repsonsible adult. Only riders aged 15 or over can demo ebikes.
-
When advance booking by email at info@cyclehighlands.com , give your height , weight and preferred pedal type (bring your own pedals is a good tip) and your first and second choice options for testing.
-
There is limited time for charging and maintenance checks so please help us to help everyone to get on their dream ride by bringing your bike back promptly to ensure it can be made ready for the next rider.
IMPORTANT
No ID means no Demo Pass and no Demo Pass means no test rides!
