All Age Cycle

In July 2024 Rathmullan Tidy Towns organised a free Bicycle Repair and Maintenance workshop hosted by Gavin Hunter of LK Bikes, Letterkenny. Gavin demonstrated the correct methods of caring for our bikes together with excellent advice on various aspects of how to keep them roadworthy.

The highlight of the day was the All-Age Cycle later that evening with almost 70 participants, aged 3 to 70+, taking to the streets and roadways in brilliant sunshine.  All the young cyclists were accompanied by a “buddy adult cyclist”. The Mountain Bikers (Seamus, Billy, Peter, Adrian, Francie, Brendan), ably assisted by George, Eugene, Hugh, Dara, Sean, Joe, Damian and Liam all worked diligently in setting up the course to perfection. They ensured there were no stragglers, with a leader, sweeper and marshals at every junction to ensure safety for both cyclists, motorists and all road users.  

Thank you guys, it was a truly wonderful community event, and everyone enjoyed getting together for refreshments afterwards, back at the sheds.
