Grab your brooms! There will be some very spooky fun-filled cycles in different parts of Ireland this week including Dublin and Waterford on Friday, Belfast and Navan on Saturday, Cork and Galway on Sunday, and Crumlin in Dublin on Tuesday.

The cycles ahead of Halloween next week, are as follows:

Dublin on Friday

Critical Mass, on the last Friday of the month, hosted by I Bike Dublin and Monthly Cycles, will tune into #IBikeBoo for this month.

Waterford on Friday

Also on Friday, October 27, but at 7pm, the Waterford Bicycle User Group (BUG) will be running what they are calling a witchy version of their iBikeBop group cycle with music. It starts at Bishop’s Palace in Waterford and takes around 1 hour.

The group says that all are welcome and children must be accompanied by a guardian and if on their own bike must be able to cycle independently.

Belfast on Saturday

Sustrans in Belfast are running a spooktacular cycle in Belfast on the Forth Meadow this Saturday, October 28 — but be warned that they say they only have a few spots left and registration is required. Bike loans for adults are available with pre-registration. See spooksnspokes28oct23.eventbrite.co.uk.
