Summer picnic rides to Edinburgh Botanic Gardens will begin at Porty Active Travel Hub on 5 September 2026. The event offers a led ride to the gardens for families and individuals at no cost.
Join us for a safe, led ride from our bike library to these family-friendly gardens this summer.
Join us for a safe, led ride for families and individuals, to the Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh where we'll have a picnic, and there will be a chance to wonder around the lovely gardens. There is also a nice cafe on premises.
The ride will use off-road cycle routes where possible. We will keep a very relaxed pace throughout. At a slow pace the ride there will take about about one and a quarter hours. We'll return by the same route.
Please bring your own picnic and dress appropriately for the weather.
Our ride leaders will lead the bike ride which will start from Porty bike library at 10am - please arrive promptly.
You can choose to hire one of our electric cargo bikes, which fits up to two children in the front or back depending on design, or come along on your own bikes. We also have a few ordinary electric bikes to hire.
Let us know in advance if you'd like to hire a bike, when you fill in the eventbrite form to sign up to the event. There are limited numbers of bikes for hire - first come first served. You will need to arrive early to try out the bike ahead of the ride.
See below for pictures of some of the cargo bikes we have available.
