Laid Back began doing recumbent tours back in 2005. The owner, David Gardiner, has chosen a variety of routes that let people see how various bikes cope in the ‘real world’. The idea is to have fun and learn a bit along the way. Of course some people do go on to buy bikes but there is no obligation.
Destinations can be Holyrood Park, Portobello, Cramond, Balerno or for those that want something longer, South Queensferry beside the Forth bridges. The shortest run is around 6 miles - with a session time of around 3 hours to allow for learning. A tour to Cramond and back is around 16 miles and takes around 5 hours including stops.
Prices are £17 per person. A personalised Laid Back Gift Voucher is available for £24. See ‘Tours’ page.
