Some countries are made for bicycle touring – and Ireland
is one of the very best. Apart
from the sheer magnificence of the scenery, which is without doubt
the main draw, there are attractions to appeal to every interest,
and a wealth of history and folklore are some of the factors in
the country’s allure. The natural warmth, humor and hospitality
of the Irish people provide the icing on the cake!
Ireland has a bicycle-friendly culture, excellent roads, plenty
of good accommodation, and a mild, temperate climate. In the Irish
countryside villages are never too far apart, so there are plenty
of opportunities for refreshment stops during the course of a day’s
biking. For entertainment, Irish pubs provide a great chance to
meet and mix with the locals, and many of them host lively folk
music sessions in the evenings.
