Firetrail blazes into bikepacking market
One year after the specialist bike retailer Aberdeenshire Bicycle Works first opened their doors in Aboyne, it has rebranded as Firetrail, and expanded with an ambitious new online business catering to bikepacking, gravel and enduro mountain bike cyclists. Husband and wife team, Richard and Alex Lawes, Firetrail’s development further cements Aberdeenshire’s reputation as a leading cycling destination and offers vital cycling supplies and repair services. The bike shop is located in an ancient coach house within Aboyne Castle grounds, but Firetrail also offer click and collect and UKwide postal delivery via their brand-new online pla�orm. This summer has seen Firetrail become the regional hub for bikepacking and adventure cycling. The team has been busy advising cyclists on which bike,

camping equipment and bikepacking luggage to choose, helping them to get ready for journeys big and small. The shop’s location at the gateway to the Cairngorms National Park makes it the perfect launch pad for adventure cycling and world class enduro trails alike. Alongside its retail and workshop offerings, Firetrail provides a purposebuilt training facility that offers courses in bike maintenance, first aid and navigation. Firetrail also offers female-only bike maintenance courses, delivered by a highly qualified female mechanic and tutor.
