There is a 3-Day Pass option which costs only €3 with a €150 deposit repayable once the bike is returned in good condition. You can buy the 3-Day Pass here.
If you would like to own your bike outright, there is a local shop in the city that sells some at decent prices called Active Life Store.
By Bus
Limerick is well-served by a modern bus system mainly run by Bus Ẽireann although there are also private operators like JJ Kavanagh that run routes such as to Dublin and Dublin Airport. As recommended on the Travel homepage, get yourself a TFI Leap Card for cheaper travel and a fare cap if you will be a regular user of bus services.
By Train
Limerick Colbert Station is the city’s railway hub that connects Limerick locally and nationally. As stated on the Travel homepage, we recommend getting a TFI Leap Card for cheaper travel and a fare cap if you will be a regular user of train services.
