Having spent our previous day cycling the Slieve Bloom Mountains, a nice flat cycle along the Grand Canal was a very attractive second-day plan. We parked at the Lough Boora Discovery Park (also very worthy of a visit), just outside Cloghan in Co. Offaly. We crossed...

We don’t usually associate the midlands of Ireland with mountains but, linking counties Offaly and Laois, the Slieve Bloom Mountains offer some challenging and really enjoyable cycling opportunities. A part of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands, you’ll find...

We thought another Lark with the Lord Mayor would be a great way of showing how City View Wheels’ electric bikes can be a great cycling option for people of all ages and levels of fitness. Our 2019 Lord Mayor, Councillor Mick Finn, was up for the challenge and...
