Deeside Bike Collective

About

The DBC is a voluntary group consisting of twelve core members and four trustees. We are all from the local area serving the community through the provision of the community woodland and bike trails and recreational woodland. The group consists of project managers, a geologist, doctors, an operations manager and engineers. We are committed to maintaining and continually improving the woodland to best suit the users. The woodland was purchased for Forest and Land Scotland in 2022 through the community asset transfer scheme and is managed and maintained by the Deeside Bike Collective. The Banchory Woodland Trails were constructed through winter ‘23/’24 and opened in April 2024. The trails have been a great success with the local community and bikers provided a valuable free to use outdoor recreational space for people of Banchory and extended communities of Aberdeenshire to enjoy. With its location close to the town, makes for easy access by bike or on foot.
