Shorter days, wet weather, and cold conditions during the winter months can make cycling less appealing for some. If this is you, then your bike will likely need a bit of attention after months of sitting idle, to make sure it’s safe, smooth, and ready to ride.
Getting around Dublin can be a daily challenge - endless traffic jams, ghost buses, and the high cost of having a car all add up. Cycling however is a practical, accessible solution that makes commuting around the city easier, healthier, and more affordable.
Frontline Bikes was set up by Frontline Make Change in 2020, when it opened its doors in Inchicore, Dublin 8. Since then, it has grown to include an upcycling and training centre that delivers a social and environmental impact by providing training to people with backgrounds of addiction, long-term unemployment, and imprisonment. The centre uses donated and abandoned bikes, preventing waste and giving them new life through hands-on repair and upcycling. The refurbished bikes produced by trainees are then sold in the shop, supporting both our social mission and our circular economy approach.
Winter Is Coming: Is Your Bike Ready?
As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, it’s time to start thinking about how to get your bicycle winter ready. Whether you're a year-round commuter, a weekend adventurer, or just someone who loves the freedom of two wheels, winter riding doesn’t have to be miserable - or dangerous.
