Excellent bike ride and tour operator - We were so lucky to have the only sunny day in a week while in Ireland to book this bike ride from Westport to Achill. Paddy and Nelly is a professional operation and they gave us all the information that we needed. Paul was on call and helpful. The price was very reasonable and booking directly online you get a 10 euro discount. This was by far one of the best things we did when in Ireland. Ebikes will take you a long way but you still cycle and get a workout. Do it!

Westport to Achill e bike ride - Great trip out, nice friendly operator with lots of advice.
Bikes OK but a bit tired, they collected bikes from Achill Sound and we got the bus back.
Took about 3 hours of solid pedalling to complete the 46k on time to get the 3.20 bus back.

Paddy & Nelly's does it right! Great e-bike rental. Fantastic experience! - Great experience! Instructions for getting to the greenway path and following it all the way to Achill were very clear and super helpful along the route. The bikes were in good condition and perfect for the ride. We spent a bit of time up front being taught how to properly use the bike and give it a test whirl to make sure the seat height was correct and we were comfortable. The route is so very scenic and offers many opportunities to stop for pics along the way. We highly recommend this tour and are so glad we went with Paddy & Nelly!

Ebikes made us feel young again! - I was with a few older women (I'm almost 70) in good health but not athletic. Most of us had not ridden a bike in many years. The added assistance while peddling an ebike made going distances and up gradual grades a literal breeze. If you've ever enjoyed riding bikes in the past but wondered if you still can, this is a perfect opportunity to rediscover that joy!
Paul at Paddy and Nelly's Bike Hire was very careful to see that we were comfortably fitted with nice quality ebikes, helmets, instructions, directions and helpful tips. He had each of us take a short test ride to confirm that we felt safe and confident before we headed out on our adventure. He has a few smaller ebikes that may feel more manageable to some riders but offer the same easy-to-use features and speed as larger ebikes.
As for the Great Western Greenway, I cannot say enough about how beautiful this ride is, especially the section from Newport to Mulranny. There is no motorized traffic to contend with on the Greenway, only peaceful miles of some of Ireland's most magnificent scenery to see at your own pace. This was an experience I will always treasure!

From Westport yo Achill - Paddy was very helpful, and made sure we had the right bikes. We went from westport to achill and returned by bus. The scenery was spectacular for October, with just a bit of good old west of Ireland misht.

Wonderful tour on comfortable bikes and beautiful scenery! - Wonderful tour around and about from Westport! We enjoyed two of the recommended routes - #4 and #5, with #5 being the most comfortable with flat roads and straightforward directions. Scenery is gorgeous and the e-bikes allowed us to explore comfortably. Paul was helpful and insightful giving advice on where to ride. When asked, he gave us suggestions about Westport which we took advantage of! Amazing!

The most amazing scenery—bucolic and romantic the entire way! - Paddy & Nelly’s Bike Hire was conveniently located. The owner, Paul, was very helpful and accommodating.
I rode an e-bike from Westport to Mulranny.
About halfway, I stopped for the most delicious lunch and an AMAZING CUP OF COFFEE with oat milk in the quaint town of Newport. The veggie/chicken wrap was so well done—perfect! The restaurant was called Kelly’s. Both the outside and inside seating were very charming.
Despite the rainy and cold weather (I had my raincoat and warm gloves), the scenery in this greenway was beyond my expectations and imagination. Truly, it was one of the most bucolic, romantic and pastoral landscapes I’ve ever traveled through.
Along the bike ride were rolling, green hills speckled with sheep and occasionally a few cows. Simple farm cottages and old historic remnants of tiny stone cottages and barns required me getting off of my bike often for wonderful photo ops. All of the old stone pasture walls, along with the occasional babbling brook brought my mind back to simpler times.
I was feeling very grateful to all of the farmers who work hard to keep this beautiful land clean and scenic. They provide not only enjoyable scenery for cyclists but also through their efforts, a very large amount of land remains green and natural. Plus, the animals have a very happy home.
Throughout the trip, I saw heather, wild geranium, ferns, and rhododendron that lined the trail. Mosses covered old stones.
The other cyclists and a farmer I encountered on the trail were friendly and helpful.
As I neared Mulranny, I was delighted by the most amazing views of the hillside down towards the water.
I highly recommend Paddy & Nellies Bike Hire.
