T Delaney and Sons Cycles has confirmed it is closing down as a result of the cost of living crisis, marking the end of Dublin’s oldest bike shop.
The business is ran by Brian Delaney, along with his brother Paul. Brian inherited the shop through generational lines, his great grandfather having first set up the premises in 1917.
Delaney’s is located at the busy Harold’s Cross junction near the Canal and has helped thousands of Dubliners with their bicycle repairs. The brothers told RTE that rising costs made it impossible to keep the family business afloat.
