Weekly Kids club for Mountain biking
Scotland’s trails are waiting. Let’s get your kids on them.
Dink Scotland runs a kids mountain bike club for young riders across Glasgow and beyond. Small groups, qualified coaching, and real trails – every Saturday.
Junior riders – morning session
Ages 5–10. Your child’s first proper trails. Flat pedals, patient coaching, big grins. No experience beyond being able to ride independently required. It’s a 3 hour session which starts at 9:30am
Youth riders – afternoon session
Ages 9–14. More technical terrain, longer rides, and the skills to match. For riders who are ready to push beyond the basics and find out what they’re really capable of. It’s a 3 hour session which starts at 13:00pm
Not sure which group is right for your child? Get in touch, we’ll help you figure it out.
Who we are
I’m John, and I’ve spent the last five years coaching kids on Scotland’s trails. I’ve seen what happens when a child who’s nervous about trying something new gets the right support at the right moment – they surprise themselves. More often than not, they surprise their parents too.
Dink Scotland’s kids club is built around that idea. We keep groups small, we coach on real trails rather than car parks, and we take the time to meet every child where they are. Whether your child is wobbling through their first session or ready to push into more technical terrain, there’s a place here for them.
We run two sessions every Saturday – one for our junior riders in the morning, and one for youth riders in the afternoon. With venues Greater Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Falkirk, and Stirlingshire. Something a bit different every week.
Qualified, checked, and genuinely experienced
With over 5 years of experience coaching kids and adults on Scottish trails, Dink Scotland is built around safe, supportive and high-quality mountain bike coaching for all abilities. Sessions are delivered by qualified, PVG-checked coaches with recognised leadership, first aid and safeguarding certifications, keeping group sizes small to make sure every rider gets the attention and support they need.
