Reels on Wheels Secrets Revealed
“Do you cycle and play at the same time ?”
Cyclists taking part in our 5th Annual Cycle from Dublin to Miltown Malbay are often asked “Do you cycle and play at the same time ?”. The answer is clearly demonstrated by our Chairman, Tommy Keane.

Renowned piper and cyclist, Séamus Ennis, put it well when he said “First you must learn the ‘tok’, and then you must learn the ‘grip’ and after that you must learn not to fall off”.
Favoured tunes include the reels “The Wheels of the World and “The Mountain Road”
