I’d recommend a hybrid rather than a racer for that kind of casual stuff

For my Mizen to Malin trip I bought a Voodoo Marasa out of Halfords, a decent hybrid for under €600, it’s done the job just fine so far, although the online reviews say that it picks up punctures fairly handy and and I did indeed experience a few punctures cycling the length of the country. You can ask Halfords to add paneer holders for you if you want. Proper cyclists will have contempt for Halfords BTW.
Did you finish that trip?
I bought my MTB from Halfords earlier this year. It was a Voodoo as well.
Couldn’t get stock in other local stores and the Voodoo got best in class on a few websites for its price bracket (approx 800 euro).
Generally the people working in Halfords know very little about bikes. At the end of the day, they are lowly paid/ min wage workers as opposed to those who own small local cycling shops and eat, drink and sleep cycling.
I met a friend in Ardara Co. Donegal and stopped there. I’ll go back in a few weeks and finish off North Donegal to Malin Head.

They’re just teenagers who like cycling but sure they sell the bikes grand
Why were you thinking of bringing Indian cheese from Mizen Head to Malin Head?

The lads who I dealt with weren’t teens but were sound enough.
You think you are being very clever there Fagan but the joke’s on you because I literally carry Indian cheese on the back of my bike.
Should try it with ghee instead but might need a decent car for that
26k people travelled to the Dutch F1 GP on bikes. Only 2% via cars. Serious active travel.

Used be be so something like that, much more ramshackle, beneath Hume House in Ballsnridge years ago when I was working there.

Not the nicest stretch for a cyclist though. Couple of hairy bits, particularly the bridge over the tolka there.
