One of the features of this guide is short contributions from existing cyclists, some<br />
newcomers to the activity and some who’ve been at it for a while. These snippets give<br />
you a flavour of what cycling means to them and will hopefully inspire you to become a<br />
regular cyclist.<br />
Whether it is cycling the thousands of back roads around the country or the off-road trails<br />
in our forests, parks and disused railways – there is something for everyone in <strong>Ireland</strong>.<br />
So now it’s over to you – get on your bike and get out there exploring!<br />
A note from John Treacy,<br />
CEO Irish Sports Council<br />
I have been lucky enough to have been involved with sport<br />
all my life and, although I’ve always been a runner, I’ve<br />
recently had the pleasure of participating in some cycling<br />
events. Like many of you reading this guide this was a new<br />
departure for me and one which I found very enjoyable and<br />
will certainly be doing again.<br />
Becoming a cyclist has so many benefits from a health perspective and is a great<br />
way to enjoy the outdoors with family or friends.<br />
I’m delighted that the Irish Sports Council is involved with the development and<br />
promotion of cycling and cycling trails in <strong>Ireland</strong>. I would encourage all Irish<br />
residents, young and old to get out there and discover the magic of the lifelong<br />
pursuit of cycling.<br />
