    Yeah Joe Daly all the way.

    What do you define as "cheap"?

    Depends what you mean by 'cheap' ... 300/400euro?

    TheCycleinn tallaght, off the greenhills road, just outside the village - google it for more directions

    Bought my bike off them and they have a lot of second hand stuff as well

    Joe Daly's is a very good shop but if your cheap is very cheap (under 375 sort of region) you may be better off looking second hand- have to know what to look for then though.

    Dawes Discovery hybrids are good "cheap" bikes BTW, and Joe Daly's sell them. I have a Discovery 201 myself and it has been very reliable and not too slow either.

    I traded in an old raleigh racer to purchase a second commuter and they gave me a great deal...i regularly use them to buy parts for my road bike, and get deals also...
