Bike Hire at Ballinastoe Woods

Ready and waiting for some pre booked mountain bike rentals at Ballinastoe Mountain Bike Trails in County Wicklow. The most exciting trail centre in Ireland!

Mountain Bike Lessons

We don't just show you the skills on the mountain bike lessons, we ride some pretty amazing trails too! Its great to be able to see the improvements riders make within a couple of hours. Before the session they could ride this trail at all... now look at the speed!

Sharing Space with Cyclists #3

Don’t drive TOO CLOSE behind a cyclist – if, for any reason, they take evasive action or come off their bike, you might not be able to stop in time.

Trek Demo Day

Some really nice kit at treks demo day today including custom project one bikes and shimano's electronic shift set up.

Cycle Inn Mega Store

We dropped in to the Cycle Inn Mega Store to check out the progress. Things are looking great, with open view workshop and large display area- that doesn't feel like a factory or warehouse!! You could actually spend a few hours chilling out and relaxing. It will be a cool place to hang out when it's done.

Sharing Space with Cyclists #2

Give cyclists PLENTY OF ROOM (1.5 metres recommended) when overtaking as they may need to avoid hazards you can’t see.Make sure you’re well past them before resuming your position.

National Trails Day- 3rd Oct 2010

We are hosting an introduction to mountain biking in Ballinastoe Woods for National Trails Day on the 3rd of October 2010. We will be running two introductory classes- for FREE! Bike hire will be available at a discounted rate of €20 for those attending the classes.

Our main aim is to slowly build up your confidence on a mountain bike by demonstrating fundamental skills. A moderate fitness level is required and it would help if you aren't a complete stranger to cycling of some description! We will chat about the sport, finding a club and having fun on your bike.

Session 1 at 10am
Session 2 at 12pm

Places must be booked beforehand.

Last of the post work spins in day light?

Sharing Space with Cyclists #1

Cyclists overtake slow and static traffis on either side. Check your mirrors. A cyclist could be in one of your blind zones, so take care when turning or moving left.

Biking.ie in the Media

Biking.ie has been recommended on Simonseeks. Here's what they had to say;

The closest mountain bike park to Dublin is in Ballinastoe Woods in Co Wicklow. It's a purpose built mountain bike centre with 14km of great trails. Biking.ie rent mountain bikes and organise tours of the Wicklow hills taking in Ballinastoe Bike Park, Lough Tay, Powerscourt House and Gardens, Glendalough and many more sights. There's no doubt that the bike allows you to see so much more in one day than any other tour
