Lazy Bike Tours Fully guided tours by local guides

“I learned to cycle a bike at a young age and I loved the freedom and the excitement of exploring new places that my bike gave me.” I spent the best part of two years looking into opening The Lazy Bike Tour Company. I wanted to make sure that I could find the right bikes and that I could find safe routes around Dublin that would make the experience for all level of riders enjoyable.

In the two years of putting the business together “I” very soon became “we”. I have to say we are a great team, we all agree our aim is to make your visit with us as enjoyable as possible and share our passion of this great city we live in. ”I still get the same feeling of excitement getting on a bike today as I did when I first learned to cycle all those year ago.”

Approximately 2.5 hours

Dazzling Dublin

Dublin is overflowing with rich history, folklore, architectural wonders, and a unique atmosphere that combines the best of Europe and the surrounding Great Britain in one location. What better way to discover the highlights of this diverse city than with a friendly local guide!

Our Dublin by Bike Tour uncovers the palpable charm that flows throughout the city. We will start by taking you through the main thoroughfares and side streets where tour buses cannot go. We’ll stop and see the exterior of Dublin Castle and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, plus provide you with a brief history of each of these famous sites and some fun anecdotes that you’re sure not to forget. We’ll also see the icon of Dublin; the Guinness Factory. No trip to Dublin is complete without a stopover here, potentially followed by an evening along Temple Bar. Our guides will give you the inside scoop on it all and make sure that know how to best use your time in Dublin after the tour.

With no inclines and a relaxed pace, this is a great fit for most riders; we just ask that you feel confident on a bike. You can leave the rest to us, and we will ensure an unforgettable introduction to Ireland’s capital city.

Discover diverse Dublin in a day

Go beyond ‘The Pale’ and see the major attractions of Dublin on this intriguing guided bike tour, with the added benefit of bike rental.

Your knowledgeable guide starts you off at Dublin Castle, sitting at the highest point in the city and currently the seat of Irish government. Formerly a motte-and-bailey castle, this landmark is one of Ireland’s most important buildings, and certainly one of its most impressive! Cycle in the shadow of picturesque St. Patrick’s Cathedral, founded in 1191 and an exceptional example of Gothic architecture.

Next, park your bikes up at Temple Bar and discover this pub’s reputation as Dublin’s friendliest drinking establishment. Your bicycle tour then continues to an entirely different watering hole, the Dublin Docklands, lining the River Liffey. Here, get a taste of innovative Ireland and take in the Talbot Memorial Bridge. Riding through Georgian Dublin, you’ll feel the history all around as your guide reveals the legacy of Irish high society, reflected in the exquisite buildings passing by.

This is the day tour for those who want to discover authentic Dublin in all its diversity.

Discover Dublin on four scenic cycle routes

Dublin has a choice of cycle routes that take you from bustling city streets to tranquil canalways or green open spaces in a matter of minutes.

Take advantage of over 190km of paths to explore different neighbourhoods and discover the city at a slower pace. Saddle up and explore coffee stops, spacious parks, and the regenerated Docklands.

Canal Way Cycle Route

This 3.6km route along the Grand Canal is Dublin’s main cycle artery. It links historic Portobello’s Georgian past with the tech hubs of Grand Canal Dock and Spencer Dock. There's plenty of places to stop for a caffeine hit too. Try Junior’s Deli & Cafe on Bath Avenue. Sip a cappuccino while you chow down on a New York style Reuben or a Caesar Club sandwich. This short trip is the perfect way to kick your Dublin cycling senses into gear. 

The Docklands and Ringsend

Dublin’s Docklands area is an eclectic mix of old and new. Here, trendy wine bars on the waterside contrast with the original village feel of Ringsend. Before setting off on your cycle, start with an Italian blend coffee and continental treat like cannoli, ricottini, or croissants at il Valentino Bakery & Cafe on Grand Canal Harbour. It’s good fuel for the rest of your trip (and you can pick up an extra snack to take away for later). 

Appreciators of street art will want to keep an eye out for the pieces on Hanover Quay’s walls, while music fans can tour U2's Dublin by bike. Pay a visit to Windmill Lane Recording Studios where much of the band’s music was recorded, from 'Boy to Songs of Experience'. As you head towards Ringsend, watch out for locals racing their rowboats along the River Liffey. Take a breather before the final pedal to the Great South Wall. On sunny days, cyclists can cool off with a dip in Dublin Bay midway along the wall’s 8km length. Once refreshed, make one last push to the iconic red Poolbeg Lighthouse that marks the end of the route.

Old town dublin.

Dublin’s historic centre has so much to see and do. There's no better way to experience it than by bike. Start at the Guinness Storehouse in the Liberties, where you can hear about the area’s proud brewing heritage. From here it’s a short trip to the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham where over 3,500 contemporary artworks by Irish and international artists are on display. While you’re in the neighbourhood, seek out Manning’s Bakery on Thomas Street for a slice of rainbow cake or a coffee eclair.

Phoenix park and smithfield.

Phoenix Park is one of the largest walled city parks in Europe. Grab your bike and explore 707 hectares of lush, green fields. Here you’ll find Dublin Zoo, Áras an Uachtaráin (The President’s House), and beautiful Farmleigh House with its extensive walled garden. On a budget, the park is the perfect place to picnic and play. Look out for the herd of urban deer who live here too. 

Áras an Uachtaráin

A ten-minute spin away from Phoenix Park is Smithfield. This former warehouse district is now known for its square where you’ll find art studios, vintage shops, The Generator Hostel and the Lighthouse Cinema .  Grab a sandwich nearby at the Oxmantown Cafe , nestled next to St Mary’s Abbey. Try the grilled cheese made with Gruyere, or roast chicken and stuffing with lemon aioli. For a tipple and some traditional music pop into The Cobblestone or visit a world-famous whiskey destination at the Jameson Distillery Bow Street.

Rent or borrow a bike.

Dublin is a city that cycles. If you don’t want to bring your bike on holiday, you can easily rent one from the multiple Dublinbikes stations dotted around the city, and their fleet includes hybrid electric models. For something more customised, head to Phoenix Park Bike Hire where you can try rentals by renowned Dutch brand Giant.
