    I see Cycleways have closed down on Parnell Street. Does anyone know where they have relocated to?

    hmm would have thought they'd have a closing down sale in that case... I suspect they're just moving as advertised.

    bit odd that they're closed this long between shutting up the old shop and moving to a new shop?
    their 'bear with us' message on facebook is dated the 6th January.

    there's a sign on their shutters saying they were re-opening somewhere close by, soon.

    Very vague

    That was when I passed about a week ago

    What Username Guidelines
    Registered Users Posts: 2,139 ✭✭✭What Username Guidelines


    I worked nearby last year and dropped the bike in for a service, confirming they accept one4all vouchers. When I picked up the bike it was a manager doing the transaction and he refused the voucher saying the margins weren’t worth him taking it. No choice but to pony up €150 cash as it wasn’t a sale I could walk away from. An absolute joke.

    Thankfully, one4all cancelled the card and transferred the money to my account, apologising for it.

    They lost a distributorship and their head mechanic more recently, if they shutter I wouldn't be surprised.

    Up the road on Bolton street is Bolton Cycles, Pawel, who is also an excellent mechanic. Same day service without booking it in.

    Not sure. There's usually something eye catching though.

    Am usually focused on plotting a path from the entrance to the trade counter to take any notice, but if you stop to take a look there are some mad looking machines.

    They do brisk business in maintenance and repair.

    Any update if they are fully closed down or still moving. They are not posting anything on FB and not answering the phone.

    I was in it at lunch and was wondering the same, but on further thought (I think) it’s west of there, closer to the Italian Quarter. Just opened this morning, plenty of unpacking being done. Smaller space than Parnell St, repairs etc to take place downstairs.

    No - just a little bit up from there. Quite a bit smaller too.
