Get on yer bike!

Brace yourself for Dublin’s latest tourist friend!! There’s a new bicycle scheme being set up at the moment which lets everyone have the chance to hire solid city bikes, free for a half an hour to explore our fine city! Dublin is one of many European cities running this scheme which seems to be really popular with locals and tourists.


There are plenty of cycle tracks in Dublin, so it's not like other cities where you are stuck behind mountains of traffic, allowing you to see the whole of the city in a couple of hours.

The bikes are a great way to get a sampler of Dublin architecture, life and culture and what’s more you’ll be doing your bit to reduce your travel’s impact on the environment!

Just watch out for those oh so annoying double decker buses!!
