sponsors

Cycling For CF is a self funded project whose focus is to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland. Without the generous help of our sponsors, we would not have been able to make it a reality.

If you would be interested in becoming a sponsor of Cycling For CF and helping the lads in any small way, please contact us on

Joe Daly Cycles has been selling and repairing bikes in Dundrum since 1951. Founded by the late Joe (Tansey) Daly, it is now run by his son, David.

Cyclist Stephen Roche said of Daly: “I have a monument to myself in Dundrum, but Joe was himself a monument there. He did a huge amount of good for cycling”. Roche won the 1979 Rás Tailteann on a Raleigh 753 he bought in the shop, and Daly led the fundraising drive to erect a memorial to mark Roche’s 1987 Tour de France triumph. It was a proud day for him when the monument was chosen as the start point for the 1998 Tour. The memorial is now a part of the new Dundrum Town Centre, and is embedded in the wall near the Mill Theatre.

Joe Daly Cycles provides a very personal and helpful service, which is a direct result of David and co.'s love for bicycles.

Cathal and Conor have been buying Trek bikes from Joe and David for years, including the bikes they will be riding around Ireland on the CyclingForCF project. They will be proud to cycle with the Joe Daly name on their jerseys, glad to be part of the great cycling community of Dundrum.
