A family cycling company built on a passion for cycling

    Scot Tares established Skinny Tyres in 2009 after a bike ride over Ben Lawers in Highland Perthshire. He was keen to set up a business that allowed other cyclists to experience the same passion that he has for cycling in the Scottish Highlands. A keen amateur road cyclist for many years, Scot has over a decade’s worth of experience organising and running cycling events, tours and holidays. He has also spent many years riding as a chaperone on charity cycling events such as The BBC Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge and has ridden with Zoe Ball, Greg James, Tom Daley, Billy Monger and Alex Jones as they completed cycling challenges for BBC Comic Relief.
