Green credentials

We work hard to make sure that our own carbon footprint is low.  Where possible we deliver our bikes and transfer luggage using pedal power ourselves.  We work with recycled materials and try to print as little as possible.  Our purchasing policy is to use ethical products. 

Planned routes and local knowledge

You are provided with maps of your chosen holiday routes together with information about the sights on the way. We plan our routes to ensure that the cycling part of your holiday is thoroughly enjoyable.  Our routes take you on calm roads and off road tracks so no busy traffic would interfere with the stunning Yorkshire scenery and views.  

Bikes

We believe that having the right bike is essential to a great holiday therefore we make sure that our bikes are well taken care of. This way the maintenance of the bike is something you don’t have to worry about. There is a range of children bikes available, as well as tag-alongs and child seats.

SCOOT Cycling Code

At SCOOT CYCLING HOLIDAYS we believe that everyone should make the most of Yorkshire's fabulous outdoors as often as possible, whether it’s cycling, riding, walking or running. There are many occasions when we will share space with others. This guide will help us ensure that we all explore safely and courteously.

 

ALL ROUTES

 

  • Please cycle with consideration for other users at all times, whether they are pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders or drivers. Give way to pedestrians and always acknowledge those who give way to you.
  • Cycle only within your capabilities and match your speed to the surface and your skills
  • Let somebody know your route in advance and when you expect to be back
  • Try to get to the start and finish of your cycle ride by public transport

 

SHARED PATHWAYS

 

Many traffic free routes are used.  Some may be part of the National Cycle Network or possibly a disused railway line. Remember that they are suitable not only for cyclists, but walkers, horse riders and wheelchair users – please show respect for others and follow a few simple guidelines.  That way everyone gets the benefit.

 

  • Keep to your side of any dividing line
  • Do not cycle at high speed, you must be prepared to slow down or even stop suddenly
  • Be cautious when you approach junctions and bends
  • Be aware that many people are hard of hearing or visually impaired, they may not know you are there
  • Use your bell to alert people that you are there
  • Always give way to wheelchair users and horse riders

 

COUNTRYSIDE CYCLING

 

  • Follow the Country Code
  • Take your litter home
  • Respect farming, forestry and other land management activities
  • Keep erosion at bay by limiting the impact of off road cycling
  • In remote areas carry some food, water, repair kit, waterproofs, map and mobile phone

 

ROAD CYCLING

 

Our planned routes use minor roads through towns

 

  • Follow the highway code
  • Make sure you are visible – especially at junctions where most accidents happen
  • Keep lights on in poor visibility or darkness
  • Wear a helmet and colourful clothing
  • Make sure your bike is roadworthy
  • Do not cycle on pavements – unless specifically designated and keep to your side of a shared path
  • Alert pedestrians with your bell

 

THE BICYCLE DOES NOT CAUSE POLLUTION OR CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. 

BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.   

CHOOSE TO CYCLE. CHOOSE TO SCOOT.
