Cycling is one of the most popular outdoor activities in Northern Ireland. Cycling your way through the country is one of the best ways to take in its beauty, attractions and places that others don’t get to see. There are plenty of options - you can chose off-road family cycling trails or on-road routes.

It's simple! Get a bike, a helmet and get out there and do it!
Many people choose to do it as and when they please and at their own pace. For those who enjoy cycling with others or are looking for a greater challenge and are interested in competitive road cycling, the best option is to join a local cycling club.

As the majority of us already know how to cycle, it's only a matter of checking out the best routes and places to go. Check out cycleni.com for a full list of on and off-road routes in Northern Ireland.
Activity operators and guides will guide you along cycle routes, taking the pressure of you, and often will provide bike hire too. This is particularly great for those exploring a new area or for those who haven't cycled in a while.

Bicycles range in price enormously and mountain bikes can cost up to several thousand pounds. But you can pick up good second hand bikes from £50. Helmets are essential and range from £20 upwards.
