Hi Folks,

Need urgent Help. Does anybody have detailed knowledge of cycling
conditions for the roads in and around Tuam Town or would be able to

Two members of the Galway Cycling Campaign have recently done the UK National Standard Cycling Instructor course in Manchester and London in December 2008.

Hi all,

The following is an account of what happened to my friend and I while cycling the section of the prom behind the Golf Range this morning at 8.30am

As many of you will know, the knocknacarra-salthill road is extremely busy in the morning times with commuter and ‘the-dropping-the-kids-to-school’ traffic.
