A Brief History

The Staff

Total Cycling evolved from "Mikes Bikes" in March 2000, when Mike McLoone was joined by partner and uncle Patrick Doherty. The new company name "Total Cycling" expressed clearly our aim to service all cycling disciplines. Warehouse manager Adrian McDermott joined us in August 2001 which coincided with a move to new 3000sqft premises at Eglinton. Former All-Ireland junior Triathlon and Duathlon champion Aaron Deane joined us in June 2003.

Total Cycling Race Team

In 2002 we began sponsoring an elite Irish amateur cycling team - Total Cycling/ VC Glendale/ Merlin. 2004 riders include Tour of Ireland winner Tommy Evans and former US based Ofoto Lombardi pro David O'Loughlin. Frames and wheels are supplied by Litespeed. You can read more about the achievements of our race team team here.

Our business today

Total Cycling started as an almost exclusively mail order business selling a select range of high end components via our web site. Mail order continues to be a large part of our business activity with the same commitment to customer care.

We now have a retail store with typically over 100 frames in stock at any time from Colnago, DeRosa, Look, Litespeed, Vitus, Time and Tifosi. We have a huge inventory of parts, accessories and apparel. With frames ranging in size from 45cm to 62cm and frame materials in carbon, aluminum, titanium and steel we are confident we have something for almost everyone.
