We
have outlined on other pages travel by foot,
road, sea, air, hitchhiking, bike, train,
bus etc but there are other alternatives
if you want a really different holiday in
Ireland.
MOTORCYCLE
/ MOPED / THREE WHEELER
A very simple method is to hire a motorcyle
(in large cities). Ireland is a superb
country for motorcycle touring, with winding
roads of good quality and lots of stunning
scenery.
Motonline allows you to rent a bike throughout
Europe and there are pickup and drop off
points around the country (for additional
fees). Rentable bikes include Ducati,
Aprilia, Yamaha and BMW. www.rent.motonline.com rent@motonline.com.
Road Rules and Tolls
Helmets are compulsory for motorcyclists
and their passengers.
IdeaMerge - dedicated to motorbike riders
across Europe. It also has information
about driving cars and ride sharing. http://www.ideamerge.com/motoeuropa/
TRUCKS AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
This is a form of hitch hiking but truck
drivers are often glad for a bit of company
on the road and commercial or delivery
drivers have been known to take tourists
along for a ride in return for some help
on the job.
If you know of any other means of alternative
transport around Ireland then please contact
us with the details ireland@backpackglobe.com
