Your Tour at Your Pace

Tramore Bike Tours offer you a guided bicycle tour through a part of the South East that would otherwise be near impossible to find. We’ll show you Fenor Bog and the Copper coast while cycling on quiet tarmac roads and laneways. We bring you to even quieter areas across bridal paths and tracks unveiling some of Waterford’s best kept secrets. The forest paths add some adventure to the cycle providing a challenging but manageable route for everyone.

Each group will be assessed at the start of the tour to determine how experienced and cycle fit they are, the degree of difficulty will then be decided by the tour leader. No tour will pose too big a challenge for any particular person. We also visit some of the most beautiful beaches the sunny South East has to offer where you can have a swim or a stroll on the sandy shores. If your interests are in archaeology we bring you to see megalithic tombs and dolmens. If you wish to stop to take photographs or have a picnic any time during a tour that’s great. Or maybe you’d prefer to stop in one of the local hostelries for refreshments which would also be fine.

On the other hand, if it’s a more exerting trip you fancy then that’s what you’ll get. There are some more technical routes on offer to add some excitement for the more adventurous cyclist.

What do I wear?

Your questions answered

Do you go out in bad weather?

There’s a famous Norwegian saying: “there’s no such thing as bad weather, but there is bad clothing to suit the weather”. Most of our routes are sheltered from the wind by trees and high ditches, but there are some sections that can be exposed to the weather. When on a bike tour in Ireland it’s good to come prepared.

Do you supply helmets?

Yes, we supply you with quality cycle helmets, and insist on clients wearing them at all times while cycling.

What age groups do you take?

From 14yrs upwards. You’re never too old to cycle your bicycle.

Do I need to be fit?

It helps to be at least moderately fit. Even though our tours are for everybody, having a reasonable level of fitness makes it even more enjoyable.

Where can I carry my things?

Should you wish to bring along a towel, swimsuit or some other picnic stuff a small rucksack will be supplied to carry everything required.

What duration are your tours?

The minimum trip we offer is a two-and-a-half hour cycle, leaving Tramore and returning to Tramore. We meet at T-Bay Surf Centre on the main beach in Tramore, bring you off-road to the lakes, woods and Fenor Bog, then along quiet coastal roads along a section of the Copper Coast and back to Tramore.

Is off-road cycling safe?

Yes. The off-road paths we use are mainly forest track and bridal paths. They are a little bumpy in parts but the front suspension softens the impact, and should a cyclist feel uncomfortable on these tracks they can safely get off the bike and walk.

How many people will be in a group?

The biggest size group we take is eight people.

What time of the day do the tours leave?

There are morning, afternoon or evening tours. The time of departure is flexible enough to suit our clients’ situation. But once a meeting time is arranged we expect you to be there on time.

Can we stop to take photos, etc?

Tramore Bike Tours encourage clients to stop as often as they want. This is your tour, to be enjoyed at your pace.

If the bike tour cannot go ahead because of adverse weather conditions we will do our best to reschedule to your next date of best convenience or refund you if an alternative date is not suitable.
