He sized me up and asked me about my plans, picked a great Giant road bike to use, gave me great advice about my destinations. I even randomly met up with him the next day riding in Phoenix Park! Paul's enthusiasm is seemingly without bounds; it's worth renting a bike to meet Paul! The bike was perfect too, I should add.

Horrible experience…read more I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding the appalling service and hazardous repair work carried out at your 360 cycle shop, as well as the completely unacceptable behavior of your staff. On 6th May ,I picked up my bicycle from your shop after it was supposedly repaired. However, immediately after taking it back, I noticed a severe issue: the bike frequently gets stuck on the chain. Because of this faulty and irresponsible workmanship, I have been put in highly dangerous situations on the road multiple times. Your shop's negligence has directly compromised my physical safety. To make matters worse, when I brought the bicycle back to address this issue, your staff member outright refused to take responsibility and instead accused me of damaging the bike myself. This defensive, dismissive, and rude attitude is shocking. It is clear that your shop currently shows a total disregard for customer safety and basic accountability. Due to this handling of the situation, I am demanding the following: 1 The full names and contact numbers of both the store manager and the staff member who was on duty and handled my case. 2 A full explanation and an immediate, proper resolution to fix my bicycle at no extra cost, or a full refund so I can have it repaired safely elsewhere. I expect a prompt response to this matter. If this is not resolved satisfactorily, I will not hesitate to escalate this complaint to relevant consumer protection authorities. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Yours sincerely, James

This shop is not just open to UCD students, it can be used by any member of the public. They sell bikes in here but they also do repairs, i'd say this is probably their main function. They are kind of slow with their repairs however, it seems they work to their own time and expect everyone else to use their time too. I don't want to put this shop down too much because it is a great facility in a great location. Of course it promotes cycling and facilitates people in their attempts at doing their bit for the environment. one nice thing about this shop is the fact that they will let you borrow their tools to do your own repair if its something small, maybe this is not something they do regularly but i reckon if you ask nicely they will help you!

I normally use DublinBikes daily, and today around 12:10pm I took a bike from Smithfield to come…read morehome to Frederick Streert North, I secured the bike around 12:30pm while I needed to go home and took out the key to lock Is it over there. But one person stole it because when I came back to use the bike it wasn't there and the race kept running in the app. The support service is terrible, they were always busy, I sent emails that were not answered, and even if someone stole it from me and I had the key, they wanted to charge me a fee of 150 euros. I opened a case with the police, so that they can help me, since the service itself has been very negligent with the customer who always uses it. My dissatisfaction remains here, and I hope it will be resolved because so far it has not been found and I have not been told any satisfaction.

In every other civilised city in the world there is a bike scheme - something the locals and…read moretourists alike can use to get around the city quickly and take in the smells and views and avoid the dog poo. Dublin was always the exception, I think we were all of the opinion that the bikes would be nicked or damaged and that would be worse than not having them at all. Happily the vandalism issue seems to have been addressed in the form of lots of clever security tricks and we now have dublinbikes - a service spanning most of the city with drop points/bike racks scattered all over the place (there are 40 of them). The bikes themselves have built-in lights and locks and are really a great addition to the city. You have to pre register to use them and part with precious credit card details etc... so it is not something you can use on a whim (well, the first time anyway). However, once you are registered (on the website above) you are free to roam the city as quickly as you like. Cycle helmets are not provided but I would strongly advise you buy one and just have it with you on the days you think it likely you are going to use the bikes!

From the moment I landed in Dublin, our driver was waiting for me, to be whisked away to the hotel. Every hotel they set us up with was 4 star all the way. Great FULL HOT Irish breakfast every day included. Getting setup on the bikes on day 2 was a breeze. All the gear was top notch, and brand new. Barney was an absolute pleasure to work with at the bike garage!! He helped us all get setup, and was even more helpful on the return. Highly recommend getting the Sena communicators. They are super handy. The GPS units were great, every day's ride and routes were all pre programed, and easy to use. The routes are simply incredible, taking us through all the major areas of Ireland with the spectacular "Wild Atlantic Way" coastal ride as a jewel. A big shout out to our tour organizer Erin too. She was super helpful getting us all set with details prior to our flight over to Ireland. My only wish is that Lemonrock operated in other countries too. I would do another tour with them in a heartbeat!! Great job Lemonrock! Joe Macdonald Milliken CO

Djouce wood is an extensive area of forest managed by Coillte and bordered to the south west by…read moreDjouce mountain close to Dublin in the Wicklow mountains. The wood is a mix of forest roads, trails and paths laid out and useable by walkers and mountain bikers alike. The area was once part of the Powerscourt Estate. The trails in the forest offer excellent views over the River Dargle valley to the Powersourt Waterfall which is the highest waterfall in Ireland and to Djouce Mountain (725m). The area has many other great walking trails including accessing the mountain area of Djouce, War Hill, White Hill and Maulin. It also gives access to the Wicklow way heading north through Crone and Lackan or south to Ballinastoe. There are two specific trails in Djouce wood, the red (Deerpark) and the blue trail. The red trail is approximately 3 hours long and deemed a moderate level walk. It's along mostly forest paths and a few forest roads. It can be quite wet, muddy, and open to the elements so this trail is best approached with appropriate wet gear and walking shoes or boots. The blue trail at one and a half hours is an easier route on drier woodland trails which wouldn't require the same level of dressing for the weather and environment. The carpark is well maintained and at the moment is open until 4pm in the afternoon. Coillte's website www.coillteoutdoors.ie provides driving directions and maps of the trails available in this wood.
