Great Cumbrae is justly renowned as a cycling island with its easy sea-level circuit and little motor traffic. For day visitors who do not bring their own bikes, there are no fewer than three cycle-hire businesses in Millport. Here the owner of "On your bike" displays his most esoteric hire machine - the "Conference" bike, one of only two in Scotland, in which seven riders sit round in a circle (as if round a conference table). A helmsman has charge of the steering and brakes.
