Attendees will be able to avail of advice from the experts who are on hand to guide them along the road to safe cycling, good nutrition and the products and services they need to get going or to reach their full cycling potential. As a committed cyclist myself, I fully appreciate the enjoyment to be gleaned from cycling and I am happy to see that it is continuing on a steady upward trend as the mode of choice for commuters in Dublin. I have no doubt that the Show will be an enormous success and that all those involved will have a positive and productive weekend’.
