How Limerick Greenway Has Impacted LiKe Bikes’ Success

Diana and Andy credit Limerick Greenway as a transformative driver of local economic development and community engagement.

“Limerick Greenway has been a catalyst for local economic growth, particularly in Abbeyfeale. Since opening our Abbeyfeale Greenway Hub here, we’ve seen a steady increase in visitors choosing to stay, eat, shop, and explore locally because of Limerick Greenway. It has extended the tourism season, supported jobs, and created opportunities for small businesses like ours across West Limerick.

"For LiKe Bikes, the Greenway has allowed us to expand our bike hire services, school training, invest in bike recycling, and build a stronger year-round operation. Limerick Greenway is an asset that continues to deliver long-term value for the region.”
