    Yep, they do. They recently sent us 2 x adult bikes with suspension + 2 x childseats for £stg20 delivery.

    Excellent quality and whole deal worked out at €205 incl.

    Best of luck either way......

    Europa (opposite the cathedral) have a decent selection of 2nd hand bikes, including lots of ex-rentals. I've also gone there for repairs and have always found them sound.

    Check out Nigel's Cycle store Liosban Business Park, I think he used to be the bike tech at Harry's bikes and garden machinery and knows his stuff. He should be able to help

    I've heard good reports about this place too, though I've not been in person. There seems to be a bit of a resurgence of interest in cycling these days, so a few new options can only be a good thing.

    I'd be glad to see this again. Years ago I used to be part of the Thermo King Cycling Club (from age 11-18, stopped doing it as there stopped being an interest throughout the city). I heard rumours ages ago that they were planning on forming a new West of Ireland cycling club. Did anything ever come of this?

    By any chance is this Nigel Forde who used to work in Kearney's Cycles out by Terryland?

    I think it is. The website has an address and telephone number, if that's any use. Liosban needs a good map!
