The quiet back-roads and extensive tracks within Kilmadock make the area excellent for cycling.
Many road tourers, racers and mountain bikers use the Teith bridge as a pivotal point for accessing the whole of the Forth Valley
and as a gateway to the Trossachs.
The main road to Stirling is also use to host races and time trials for local bike clubs.

While Doune and Deanston provide great access to other areas they also provide a perfect start-point for a series of
classic road tours, numerous ad-hoc family-friendly off-road loops and a bigger ride taking in the Three Glens and
divided as a fringe event to the annual successful Walking featival.
And finally... why not try commuting with your bike via the old railway and Old Doune Road to Dunblane railway station -
it's only three miles, on well made tracks avoiding the main road and will benefit your health and, perhaps, your pocket!

Three Glens Mountain Bike Ride
This local route was devised for the Walking Festival but has much to offer the whole year round.
Taking in Argaty, Kilbryde, the Darn Walk and the Carse of Lecropt it will take experienced riders
a few hours and offers families options and activities along the way.
