Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amanda and Jonathan are just so lovely people!! They were so friendly and helped us with everything! When we wanted to rent bikes, they made sure that everything was really fine and even changed the breaks for me so I could ride safer. They also gave us great tips for our bike tour so that we had the best views while riding and such a lovely day 😊 we would always rent our bikes there and hope to see them again soon! 😊
We wish you all the best!☘️

We rented 2 bikes, one with a child seat. We did a 2-hour ride on the Sky Road.
The bikes were easy to use, very light and perfect for a hilly ride. Great service. Would definitely recommend.

We rented 5 adult bikes from Clifden Bike Shop and cycled to Roundstone and back. The bikes were in perfect condition and great attention was given to sizing of the bikes and helmets and hi-vis jackets. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, giving lots of directions and assurances that they would be there should we need assistance at any time - very comforting to hear. Definitely the place to get your bikes while in Clifden.

So grateful to the guys in Clifden Bike Shop for charging our electric bike batteries (no fee-very sweet!) and doing a quick diagnostic on a faulty bike phone holder. We highly recommend this shop. Loads of bike accessories and kit to boot! Thank you so much!

Do you have bikes that are low to the ground? We have an older adult in our group that is not comfortable with a large or tall bike.
