It's for everyone.

And thankfully, along the more developed greenway networks now, particularly those that have been in existence for maybe 10 or 15 years, there's a whole plethora of services available to you.

You don't even need a bike because if you go to many of these places now and you can join these greenways at designated parking points all along, say, for example, from Waterford to Dungarvan, from Westport to Wackle,

And at each of those locations, more often than not, there's somebody hiring bikes.

And you can hire a normal acoustic bike, as I call them.

You can also hire an electric bike.

You can hire an electric bike for two.

You can hire a bike that has a trailer to pull your young children along behind you.

There are numerous bike hire options.

So the communities along these greenways, Brendan, have responded with huge enthusiasm and ingenuity to provide the services that people are looking for.

So there is no reason right now

Where if you're looking at perhaps doing something interesting and maybe new next weekend, and you don't have to be that, you know, Sean Kelly or Stephen Roach or Larry Gillespie.

You can be just that person who maybe has the bike stuck in the back of the garage for the last 10 or 15 years.

And then, you know something, I'm going to take it out.

I'm going to pump up those tires and I'm going to take it along a greenway somewhere in Ireland.

And with that 750 kilometre network, increasingly, you don't have to travel very far.

It would have to be the Waterford Greenway.

It's a really, really special place.

It's 46 kilometres from Waterford City to Dungarvan.

But as I say, you don't have to do, if you wanted to do five kilometres, that's an option.
