NTW Member Brendan “Aggie” Hayden has shared with us a wonderful project he undertook last year. He took a sentimental piece of history and restored it to it glorious best! Well done Aggie, you did an fantastic job,   “While lots of kids received new bikes for Christmas, for my Dad (Tom Hayden), this Christmas brought a bike that certainly had the look of something new but was definitely from another era. In the early 1950’s, he had purchased a second-hand Raleigh for “8 quid” from Corrigan’s Bike Shop on Mitchell Street from the late Jimmy Brett. It has been […]

Club Open Night: The first Open Night of the year was held on Monday evening in Moynan’s Bike Shop. A good few turned up on the night and they were able to renew or register their membership for the coming year, buy club gear which was on display (some bargains in there still, so talk to Jan), discuss any issue with regard to cycling with the club and cycling in general, and browse the great range of bikes and cycling products in the shop. Many thanks to Peter and David for hosting us on the night. As usual, great craic […]
