Great Dublin Bike Ride 2026

The Great Dublin Bike Ride is Dublin’s biggest cycling event. Roads are closed across the city and county, giving cyclists the rare opportunity to ride on car-free streets. Multiple distances make it accessible to everyone from families to serious cyclists.

What to Expect

Closed-road cycling through Dublin on routes of 25km, 60km, or 100km. The shorter routes are suitable for families and recreational cyclists, while the longer distances offer a genuine challenge. Feed stations, mechanical support, and marshals throughout. The atmosphere is festive and supportive.
