About Us

Nevis Cycles are the total bicycle sales, repair and hire service based right in the heart of the West Highlands of Scotland. Our bike retail outlet, cycle hire and repair workshop are at the centre of the quiet historic village of Inverlochy in Fort William. Our second premises new in 2008/9 are located close to the Nevis Range Gondola / Leanachan Forest / Witch's Trails, venue of the annual scottish round of the Mountain Bike World Cup DH 4X and XC (Downhill, Four Cross and Cross Country) courses. Both Nevis Cycles outlets are staffed by friendly, knowledgable staff with a huge amount of cycling experience, and our interests extend to regular entry in competitive cycling events with our own team NCRT (Nevis Cycles Race Team)

Nevis Cycles supply, hire, repair and service all types of cycles, all terrain, comfort, family, racing and children’s. You’ll find our shop crammed with all the cycling clothing, lights, helmets and components that you’ll need to keep you speedily and safely on the move, and sharply visible! We are a 5 min cycle (15 min walk) from the Fort William bus and train stations and just a minute’s drive off the main A82 road access from the West Highlands to Central Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The Nevis Cycles shop is directly on the start of the Great Glen Cycle Way and Sustrans National Cycle Network (National Route 78) Our shop is in a quiet, pretty square with free car parking, shops, chippy / pizza takeaway and a Post Office.

From Nevis Cycles you’ll get all the cycle equipment, information, maps and guides you’ll need for off-road cycling in the breathtaking Lochaber landscape of hills, rivers, glens and lochs. For family trips hire our special ‘Family Bike’ tag-a-long trailers and enjoy gentle road touring, spectacular views and historic sites. Following quiet back roads we are only 15 minutes cycle from Inverlochy Castle, the Caledonian Canal and the glorious Road to the Isles. Hire a bike from Nevis Cycles and take a trip on a train on the West Highland Line (famed for its Hogwarts’ Express ‘Harry Potter’ location filming) arriving at the fantastic white beaches of Morar and the ferry over the sea to Skye at Mallaig.

At Nevis Cycles you will find a team of experienced, helpful, informed and friendly people. We can assist everyone from the newcomer to ‘life on two wheels’ to the specialist sports cyclist. Proprietors, John and Maggie Thompson started their family cycling over 25 years ago in Glen Torridon. Since then they have been involved in local cycle groups (founder members of the West Highland Wheelers), competitive racing, building cycle tracks, promoting cycling events and championing the fun, fitness and ecology of taking the cycle route to transport!

Whether you’re starting with stabilisers, getting fit by bicycle or a hardened high speed MTB downhiller you’ll need helpful, friendly advice, the best cycles, the highest quality components, the most effective accessories and the keenest prices. You’ll find it at Nevis Cycles!
