The Shop
Expert Cycles was born out of a passion for cycling and particularly the off road variety, having been involved in the off road scene in Ireland since its inception in the early nineties.
We were frustrated with the lack of an off road focused shop where customers could get solid advice, products they wanted and good mechanics with a knowledge of the products they were working on and how to set them up.
We finally opened our doors in May 2010 on the Main Street in Rathfarnham, where we are still located today.
