Brothers behind Dublin’s oldest bike shop thank loyal customers ahead of closure

The brothers behind Dublin’s oldest bicycle repairs shop say they have been flooded with support since deciding to sell their business.

Paul and Brian Delaney run T Delaney and Sons, a bike shop in Dublin 6 that has been going strong for 105 years. The business is easily recognised through its vibrant red shopfront near the busy Harold’s Cross junction.

The shop was first opened by their great-grandfather, with ownership being passed down from generation to generation. The brothers previously told RTE that although they were nearing retirement age, they have been forced to close earlier than planned due to rising costs.
