Located in the picturesque grounds of the historic Malahide Castle in North County Dublin, the Irish Centre for Cycling provides a dedicated professional cycling service, setting a new standard of cycling facilities in Ireland. From first contact, customers will recognise that they are dealing with trained professionals who know and love their business.

Cycling is great fun for all ages and a fantastic way to experience what Ireland has to offer - beautiful coastlines award winning parks, natural habitats, and plenty of visitor attractions to explore. You'll find no better way to enjoy what is on offer, than a leisurely cycle. Follow some of the organised tours or just hop up on a bike and see where it takes you.

Rentals -

Customers may simply choose to rent a quality bike, for whatever period of time, and take off in any direction of their choice. Select a bike online and come along to collect it at Malahide Castle. From the beautiful gardens of Malahide Castle you can head off around the scenic route towards Portmarnock, Sutton and onto Howth. If you take on the challenge of conquering Howth Summit, you'll be rewarded by the spectacular views from this height. Or turn at Sutton Cross and head down the coast into Clontarf. We really do have some beautiful views in the Fingal area. Or simply take a bike away for a number of days!

Tours -

Customers may also choose from a range of carefully-planned cycle tours, or indeed email a request to arrange a bespoke tour. Individuals, families or any size group, large or small, can be catered to. Tours have been packaged for all interests and levels of ability.
