We don’t just sell bikes, we build relationships! In 1960, Paddy Rooney started off in life as a Bicycle Mechanic, working in the local bike shop in Sligo. Those were the days when everybody cycled to work and school and before we had two-car families. At that time, it was all about repairs and secondhand bikes. In 1962, Paddy started repairing bikes in his workshop in Quay Street and built up a loyal following, looking after the needs of Eire Og Cycling Club. In the early 70s, Gary took up cycling with the Eire Og Club and won plenty of races. Including an All Ireland Cycling Championship in 1976 and two Connacht Championships in 1977 & 1979. Gary sold his first bike at the age of 13 and was hooked. He spent the next few years selling to everyone he knew and then went big time; in 1986, when Sean Kelly & Stephen Roche were at the height of their careers, he opened a new shop in Quay Street. On 3 June 1992, Garys Cycles moved across the road to a 2500 sq ft shop and then, an even bigger move in 2011, across the road to their new Concept Store on Lower Quay Street, alongside the Garavogue River in the heart of Sligo and next to The Quayside Shopping Centre. This Concept Superstore is the first of its kind in Ireland and has to be seen; stocking all the top bike models including Trek, Scott & Giant. Garys Cycles offers the full range of bicycle supplies and bikes for sale including hybrids, racing bikes, single speed bikes, mountain bikes, kids bikes and accessories. With so many choices, how do you choose the right bike for you? The team at Garys Cycles makes it easy and fun with complete cycling solutions for all types of riders, from the highly specific bike such as a triathlon bike to functional bikes such as hybrids.
