Bike and Outdoor
We’re lucky to have some of the very best bike and outdoor gear shops around, covering everything from outdoor essentials to that shiny new ride you always dreamt of!
Out & About, Peebles
Something of an institution locally, Out & About has been providing high-quality outdoor gear, clothing and sage advice for almost 30 years. These guys know their stuff. Located in Peebles Old Town.
Trespass, Peebles
Specialist outdoor chain selling clothing, sport and camping gear, including accessories.
BSpoke Cycles, Peebles
Perfectly located at the north end of Peebles High Street, this welcoming independent shop offers bike sales, bike hire and servicing – along with expert knowledge on all things cycling across the valley. Cannondale, Scott, Bergamont and Squish stockists.
Alpine Bikes Glentress
Trailhead bike shop catering for all visitors to Glentress Forest. Offers brand new rides from the likes of Trek, Santa Cruz, Juliana, Whyte and Cube, more than 150 hire bikes – from tagalongs to top-end demo models – plus full repair and servicing from a top team of on-site mechanics.
Ride Innerleithen

Stylish, Scottish-designed active clothing for women and men made with Merino Wool and Recycled Performance Fabrics. Gorgeous store that’s a bit of a destination in its own right. Now with its own cafe too!
Tweed Valley Bikes, Innerleithen
Part of the Tweed Valley Guides and award-winning Dirt School group, Tweed Valley Bikes is the home of Santa Cruz Bicycles, Kona and much more – and all just a short pedal from some of the world’s best trails!
Ridelines, Innerleithen
Not so much a bike shop as an educational centre offering additional ‘off the bike’ elements so that people can make their mountain bike experience more complete. Ridelines are tutors for British Cycling’s Mountain Bike Leader Awards and also run courses for trailside repairs, mountain bike navigation and suspension set-up. This comes in addition to long established work helping riders become more dynamic and confident in their riding through a variety of skills courses and private tuition sessions.
The Bike Shop, Innerleithen
On a prominent corner position on the High Street, The Bike Shop – part of Adrenalin Uplift – is a Specialized dealer with bikes for sale and hire, as well as gear, clothing, accessories and general pearls of wisdom about local trails.
