Bike Tours Frequently Asked Questions
Hop on an e-bike with us and discover Dublin with a local guide, or if you don’t want to be so lazy, take our Taste of Dublin Bike Tour on one of our push bikes. Here are some FAQs for our Bike Tours.
Arrival Times
We ask that you arrive on time for scheduling reasons. We must start on time. Late arrival will result in missing the introduction and training and you may not be permitted to take part.
Weather Policy
Activity takes place rain or shine. The activity runs regardless of weather conditions. In the rare situation where the seller is forced to cancel the event, ticket-holders will be allowed to reschedule to another time (subject to availability). We do ask that you dress appropriately for the weather, particularly as this is Ireland and it does rain.
Waiver
All participants must sign a waiver at the start of the tour. We are fully insured and this is a requirement of our insurance company. Participants under 18 must have a parent or supervising adult present to sign for them. Helmets and Hi-Vis jackets are required and are provided by The Lazy Bike Tour Company. Participants must meet this requirement: All participants must be able to ride a conventional bike.
Is it suitable for pregnant women?
Unfortunately, for safety reasons, pregnant women are not allowed to participate on our tours. We blame our insurance company and not the pregnant ladies.

What is an Electric Bike?
It is a like a standard bike but has a little electric motor build in. It provides assistance to the rider of up to 25kph. The motor is controlled by peddling the bike. It is known as a pedelec motor or system.
Is it hard to ride an electric bike?
The simple answer is No, once you can ride a conventional bike. It’s the very same only with a little bit of help.
How old must I be to take a Lazy Bike Tour?
All riders must be at least 14 years of age to participate in the tour. Riders 14-17 years must have a parent present to sign a waiver and take the tour with them. Riders 18 years and above do not need parental consent to participate in the tour.
Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
We highly recommend you purchase your tickets in advance to guarantee the date, time and tour you want. Bookings can be made online and we accept Visa/Master card and PayPal. Our tours are limited by size so we recommend booking as far in advance as you can.
Are restrooms available?
No restrooms are not available at the meeting location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to make additional restroom stops during the tour, as our time is limited and we want you to visit as many landmarks as possible.
Are cameras allowed on the tour?
Yes, cameras are allowed on the tour. We ask that you do not take photos while cycling as this would be dangerous. We will give you lots of opportunities to take photos.
May I bring my pet on the tour?
We love pets! Unfortunately, pets of any kind are not allowed on this tour.
Does this tour have anything to offer a native Dubliner?
Definitely! Many of our attendees live right here in Dublin and come to learn more about the locality and the city in which they live. It’s a unique way to see the sites with which they may already be familiar, and it’s also a treat for locals to bring their out-of-town guests to enjoy.
Is there parking nearby the tour meeting point?
Yes, there is both on street metered parking as well as the multi-story car parks we are based in.
Can I buy food or drinks along the way? What about souvenirs?
Our tour is structured so that we can visit many landmarks in the allotted time. This leaves very little time for any other stops. We recommend you arrive having eaten.
Are the tours conducted in English only?
Yes, the tours are only conducted in English. However, our non-English speaking guests will still enjoy the experience.
Do you offer private/corporate/business events?
Yes. Please contact us at hello@random.hoponhopoffdublin.ie and will be happy to structure a package to suit your requirements.
Can I rent a Bike From The Lazy Bike Tour Company?
