We are often asked ‘who can do bike rafting’.  The answer is just about anyone. As the intrepid Scots pictured here show, age is no barrier to freewheeling downhill for 22 miles. At 85 the husband is our eldest participant and his wife at 79 is our eldest lady rafter.

Both sailed downhill like champions and were as delighted with their day as we were to have them with us proving that age is no barrier to having a little out-of-the-ordinary fun on your holidays.

At the other end of the scale, we offer baby chairs on bikes for parents of children up to the age of approximately 3 or 4, depending on the size of the child. Over the weight of 20 kilos the baby chair becomes a little unwieldy and with safety in mind we don’t advise having the child on the bike with you beyond this weight.

At about 9 years old kids become a lot more confident and responsible and we have found that at this age, children are quite capable of coming along on their own bikes. This depends on the child’s own ability to ride a bike and their level of maturity of course.

So the only people who cannot ‘do bike rafting’ are children between the ages of 3 to 9 but we can make a special arrangements for them to accompany you downhill in the support van.
