Careful workmanship
Assessment-led work that starts with the condition of your bike and the riding you want to do.
Meet your mechanic
Hi, I’m Callum.
A bicycle mechanic, athlete and fellow rider. I started Canny Cycles to help people get more from cycling through careful bike care and useful advice.
I’ve been around bikes from a young age, riding with my dad, learning to work on my own bikes and gaining hands-on experience as an apprentice in a local bike shop.
Now based at Bridge of Canny, near Banchory, I hold the IMI Level 3 Certificate in Cycle Maintenance (VRQ). The aim is simple: work you understand, a bike that runs well and more reasons to enjoy riding.
