On yer Bike in Carlow – Cycle at your own Pace

Cycling offers a stress free, exhilarating and (most of the time) relaxing way of exploring Carlow and environs. On any given day throughout the year, you’ll see cyclists of all ages and abilities pedalling away as they weave through the boreens and roads of the Blackstairs, Mount Leinster and the Comeraghs, while the rivers Slaney and Barrow meander alongside them to keep them company. The perimeter of the town also has some great bike trails to enjoy for all the family.

What’s great about Carlow and its region is its climate. Located in the Sunny South East of Ireland, whatever the weather you’ll catch the best of it when you decide to venture out on two wheels during your stay at Avlon House Bed & Breakfast.

Overall Carlow is a GREAT destination when you take the following into account;

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

When you go off the main roads and into rural Ireland, you’ll be in the midst of hundreds of acres of unspoilt Eastern ancient landscape where quiet roads and quaint villages unite.

EXPECTATIONS & EXPERIENCE

If cycling is more of a hobby than a sport, then why not contact some of our local bike hire companies, who will be happy to offer bike rental solutions and perhaps even a short guided tour to get you up and running? There is nothing more exciting than feeling like you have accomplished something new or done something different to make you feel good. Please feel free to ask us at the time of booking if bike hire is something that is of interest to you so that we can recommend a reputable company.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A GOOD CYCLE ROUTE

Locals will always tend to have the best knowledge and information, and in general people tend to go for self guided cycle routes. As always we will sing the praises of Carlow Tourism who have several useful articles on popular cycle routes. The guided tours are going to add some expense onto your budget which is also a factor to consider.

E-BIKES

Carlow town has introduced an e-bike scheme with a current fleet of 100 bikes, geo tagged and ready to hire from only €0.18c per minute. The BOLT app is all you need to kickstart your e-bike booking in Carlow.
