On a rainy day in Killarney, I tried to find a good bike shop to repair Rocket Boy ONE's rear hub problem. After visiting good few bike shops, I was advised to come to this bike shop just outside of the town centre
The BIG Little Bike Shop
Woodlawn Rd, Killarney, Co. Kerry
Tel: +353 (0)64 34294 Mobile:086 4055594
Dennis O'Shea, the owner of this little but really big shop, had fixed the problem - free of charge for my good luck - when I came back from an hour's rent-a-bike ride. Having seen me soaked in the rain, he offered me a shower, dinner and a lift to 30km away hotel. Very relaxed, generous and great fellow.
He used to be a Ireland's top class road cyclist and now enjoying "hardcore downhill biking" with local lads (i.e. Jason, the boy holding my saddle, is the teenage Irish champion of downhill biking).
