The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive Early
Arrive 10 minutes before departure to sign waivers, get your bike fitted, and test the headset.
Layer for Weather
Dublin weather changes fast — bring a lightweight waterproof jacket and breathable layers.
Watch for Tram Lines and Cobbles
Ride defensively: tram tracks and wet cobbles can catch tires, so cross tracks at right angles and reduce speed on slick surfaces.
Hydrate and Snack
Bring a small water bottle and a light snack; stops are brief and you’ll cover several kilometers without a long break.
