Help needed in the Highlands!!

[gk09]

I am up in the Highlands for the week and have managed to bring my road bike up, plenty of gear, tools etc and forgot my shoes!!!

Can anyone recommend anywhere in the Aviemore area to buy some replacements (plus cleats!)?

Google has these in Aviemore

http://www.bothybikes.co.uk/
http://www.aviemorebikes.co.uk/

Both might be more MTB oriented however, the first should be open on Sunday

There's a Halfords in Inverness and several other bike shops too

I don't know the area so if you don't find a bike shop then order online, you should get them on Tuesday.

What size shoe and what cleats?
If you don't get sorted I have size 43 and 44 Specialized shoes with Look Keo cleats or 43 with SPD cleats that I could lend you & post with next day delivery. You could post back or drop them back to my house ( I live about 12 miles from York).
Let me know.

Amazon, next day delivery (free if you're a Prime account holder)? Just check they do next day wherever you are.

Buy flat mtb pedals and wear whatever shoes you have with you.

Apart from those already mentioned, there is Stuart's in Forres, 36 mi from Aviemore. http://www.stuartscycles.co.uk/

In Inverness, 30 mi from Aviemore .....
Bikes of Inverness the guys there are knowledgeable, and there is usually parking behind the shop.
Alpine bikes is in a Tiso outdoor shop just a couple of hundred metres down the road from Halfords, car parking outside both of these..
Highland Bikes is on the east side of the river beside the Black Bridge.
Good Luck

Looks like you have it covered. However, nobody has yet pointed out that you are a fud

I ordered some shoes from Halfords eBay shop on Sunday lunch, they were delivered before lunch Monday, may not be the same service to Aviemore though.

Thanks all for your help and offers (except @Marmion and his abuse ). I will go into Aviemore tomorrow morning and further North if needed and let you know if I need to take up any offers.

Avoid Men wearing skirts.....Sorry that's my only advice....

It's not a skirt.

Mikes Bikes in Aviemore has a good mix of road and mtb, easy to find just off the main street. Bothy Bikes is more mtb orientated, it's more hidden away near the Co-op.
