About us
An Mheitheal Rothar is Galway's Community Bike Workshop. A meitheal is an Irish word for a group of neighbours who get together to get something done - a bit like a barn raising in the US. We support Galway's cyclists with repairs and maintenance, as well as running free DIY workshops where anyone can learn to fix their bike for free. We also run a sustainable enterprise called ReCycle Your Cycle, taking bikes sent for scrap to Galway's civic waste facility and fixing them up for sale at affordable prices. We welcome volunteers and Tús scheme participants.

Super excited to be working with @cyclefriendlyemployer to help promote cycling around the country! Our amazing mechanics have been doing bike health checks at some big companies and organisations in #Galway and beyond, ensuring commuter bikes are in tip top condition and helping to keep cycling as a viable way to get into the workplace. If you're interested in seeing what your company or workplace needs to do to achieve the prestigious Cycle Friendly Employer accreditation, contact the very knowledgeable Michael O'Boyle and he'd be delighted to walk (or cycle!) you through the programme. #cycling #circulareconomy #sustainabilty #ireland https://lnkd.in/edaM9Z88
