If you want a great selection of bikes for sale and experts to repair your bike or even make a customized upgrade, Raw Cycles in Delta Retail Park in Limerick is a bicycle shop worth visiting!
Raw Cycles has in-house bike mechanics that are experts in repairs and are Cytech qualified. What’s more, it has many bike options for adults, kids, and supports Ireland’s bike-to-work arrangement.
We like that it has €500.00 and €1,000.00 packages for bikes to work with flexible payment terms. We recommend the Mountain Bike €1,000 package, payable for 6 to 12 months for around €40.00 to €82.00 monthly.
Its staff is also worth commending because they are very helpful in assisting customers for their clients. They can also assist in processing bike purchases through the bike-to-work scheme.
Because the store began operating in 2013, Raw Cycles has already established a great experience in building custom bikes from its stock of durable and high-performing bike parts.
Also, we love how it’s able to finish bike repairs within the day and customization in just a few days. However, it doesn’t have bike fitting and the complete price list is not available online.
Still, we think it’s worth a visit because of the quick turnaround time for the quality services it offers.

Doesn’t charge for quick repairs
“This is my favourite bike shop in Limerick! The guys there are always super-friendly and super-helpful. I had some issues with the front derailleur on my brand new Giant Revolt which I bought elsewhere. I walked straight in from the street and they fixed it in less then 5 minutes. Moreover, I was not charged anything. This is 5 star service. Thanks!” – Grzesiek Rogala
Good customer service
“I needed a very hard to get part for a race we were in the middle of and these guys took the time to find it, make sure it was right and stay late for us to get it. There customer service is as good as it gets, so thank you. They seem to have a good amount of high end bikes in stock as well. I would go to them again in a minute.” – Toby Stanton

What we love about this shop is it sells all types of bikes ranging from beginner, electric, to professional road bikes. It also has professional bike services and even offers pieces of bike advice to cyclists.
We like how the bike fitting services are taken seriously to improve the cycling performance of its clients through its integrated Laser fitting studio. Also, a more advanced fitting is available to professional bikers.
Another reason why it’s included as one of the best shops is its comprehensive Cycle to Work Scheme Process. This also allows qualified customers to choose their bicycle parts.
Also, The Hub has an extensive options of bike apparels for your complete bike setup to help you ensure safety, security, and convenience when riding a bike. The products, however, are pricier than those sold in other shops.
What sets this apart from other bike shops is its community with a bicycle café for cyclists socialization. Needless to say, the menu is delightful and unique in their use of Latin American coffee beans.
Even so, customer service needs a little improvement according to several clients, as there are long queues that need to be serviced in some days. Still, we think it’s a nice bike shop for its professional services and amiable community.
Pros
- Has cafe inside shop
- Caters to all cyclist types
- Offers cycling advice to members, customers
- Bike to work package comes with safety bike parts
Cons
- Pricey services and products

Well-stocked shop
“I have been a customer here for about 4 years or so now. Best in the business. They know the intricacies of bikes, their parts, and the bodies that ride them. They truly are worth chatting to if you ate considering investing. Often spent an hour or more there chatting about cycling/bikes/parts or the racing scene in Ireland! Great bunch of lads, and a well stocked shop, with variety. You aren’t going to be sold the one brand because of the dealer they work with.” – William Rymer
Excellent service
“Excellent service. When I had a small mechanical issue on my bike that I needed fixed quickly, these guys could not have been more helpful. They went out of their way to get me back on the road. Very impressed. Thanks.” – Steven Connolly
Professional service

The Bike Shop, equipped with 25-year experience, knows exactly what you want and what bike fits your lifestyle. The good thing is, it can provide you with any bike type you’re looking for from its stocks.

Customer Reviews
Approachable staff
“When walking into Evolution Cycles, you are surrounded by staff who are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly to me, approachable. The shop itself feels like a boutique for bikes, with a great atmosphere, layout and selection. Even better, superb coffee is also available, making it a go to spot for not only bike enthusiasts, but coffee enthusiasts alike. I highly recommended.” – Joomie Sheehan
Professional bike center
“The most professional bike Centre I have ever attended. The young lad I dealt with was excellent to deal with. I went in with a puncture that I had tried to repair ‘unsuccessfully’ twice! He recommended a service and brake pads which I agreed to do. I went out for a 40km cycle this evening and it was like a new bike. I didn’t realise it needed tweaking here and there that he ran through with me when I picked up the bike this evening. I’ll definitely be back. Show your bike some love … bring it into Evolution Cycles.” – Mike Rabbitte
