Hello, my name is David Venniro and I am interning here at the Lazy Bike Tour Company for the summer.

They have the best bikes around!  I’m here from the United States, and I have lived in New York for my entire life. I was quite nervous when I first arrived and started my internship. However Hugh, Paul, and Anna have welcomed me with open arms and I am truly lucky to be working here with them. Based on what I have heard from the other student I came over here with, I landed a great gig! I am very excited to have the opportunity to be here, and I am making the most of it.

Dublin is a beautiful city with a wealth of history, and characters of all types. Everywhere you go you can expect to find street performers. I’ve seen magic tricks, live music, juggling, and living statues. I thought they were actually statues until one of them sneezed, which took me by surprise. The food here in the city is amazing. There are different restaurants all over the city with every different kind of food you can imagine. The countless number of pubs always gives you a place to stop in and have a drink.

There are many beautiful places outside of the city of Dublin as well. So far I have visited the Cliffs of Moher, and the Wickow mountains. Both places were breath taking and have really inspired me to travel more, and see what the world has to offer. Be sure to bring your umbrellas if you plan on visiting Ireland.

I miss my Beautiful girlfriend, family, and friends back home greatly. Being away from it all on your own really shows you what is truly important in your life. The things I took for granted suddenly become things that I wish I had back in my life. Being here in Dublin has been a great experience so far and has helped me grow as a person.

 

It has been eventful few months since our last blog here at Lazy Bike Tours.

One of our founding members, Ciaran has moved overseas in the pursuit of Love and Happiness. We will miss him here as he was always a good man for a song. We wish him all the best and will keep you posted on how he is getting on.

We had the guys from Rte’s Nationwide in with us in February and they filmed one of our tours for Irish television. We have had a great reaction to the article they did on us since it went out on RTE. If you did not see it, have a look for your self. Lazy Bikes RTE Player

We we have had visitors from America, Spain, France, England and be the hokey even Dubliners! We have had younger folks, older folks as well and ages in between , lapping up the sights sounds and stories of the capital. Sure isn’t it great! (even better we have had everyone return to the base safe and sound!) It pays to spend a little practice time with visitors to help them feel aware of  the electric assistance on our Pedego’s before heading out on the streets. The extra ‘oomph’ always brings a smile across their faces.

The bikes themselves really do make covering a large area stress free, and the smaller groups allow us to tailor each Dublin City Tour to suit the individual audience.A win win situation for our Lazy Bikers!

Its great to see people learn about our city in an easy informative way, which tends to be a good old fashioned conversation lead by our local guides about the area where they stop along the way. This makes the tour very interactive and as Dublin as can be! Its ideal for people who want a little more than just being a number in a crowd of fellow explorers and oh yeah..did i say we only use stylish electric bikes? I may have but they really are great craic to use and judging by the smiles on peoples faces, we are not the only ones to think so.

In all it has been a success so far. Our Tripadvisor reviews are very good.We have ironed out a few wrinkles from our booking system this week with bookings now able to be made and paid online 24/7! We forward on a receipt to you email address keeping things as eco-friendly and paperless as possible.

So just to say a big ‘Thank You’ to all our Lazy Bike visitors so far and a hello to all who want to join us on a visit!
