As temperatures have soared over the last couple of weeks, Dubliners thronged some of the best tourist spots in the capital to make most of the sunshine.
While it may be tempting to drive or use public transport to get around the city, there is nothing like riding a bike on a glorious sunny day.
We have compiled a list of some of the best cycle routes in Dublin.
So make sure you slap on some sunscreen, grab a bottle of water, and start peddling.
Phoenix Park
Crowned the largest enclosed urban park in Europe, the popular tourist spot has so much to offer.
Phoenix Park is home to various attractions like Dublin Zoo, Áras an Uachtaráin, Papal Cross, Farmleigh House, People's Gardens, Ashtown Castle, and more.
The park is so big you can easily spend an entire day cycling around and checking out all the sights.
Glasnevin to St Anne’s Park via Griffith Avenue
This north Dublin route has some of the most gorgeous and tranquil leafy green sights.
You can start your journey from Glasnevin going down Griffith Avenue onto Marino and through Clontarf Road where you will be greeted by stunning sea views.
When you get to the final destination of the journey, don't forget to check out the beautiful St Anne's Park.
Tolka Valley Greenway
The quiet, scenic route is not very far from the city centre and yet it feels like you're miles away from civilisation.
The best part is the cycle and walking tracks are separated so you can peddle away without any worry of running into pedestrians.
You start off in Glasnevin at the National Botanic Gardens, make your way up Glasnevin Hill, and down Finglas Road until you get to Ashtown Village.
Sutton via Fairview
If you're just starting out and would prefer to stay away from hills or steep inclines, this might be the best route for you.
Take in the fresh ocean air as you peddle by the seaside while catching glimpses of the Poolbeg Chimneys.
Clontarf to Howth
Another beautiful northside route that runs alongside the coast.
Some places of interest you can find during the journey are North Bull Ireland, St Anne's Park, Kilbarrack Cemetary, Howth Village, and more.
River Dodder
The Dodder is known as a home to plenty of wildlife making it the perfect place for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers.
You can take a leisurely cycle following the river while enjoying the nature and scenic views.
Portobello to Dublin City Centre
If you want to explore the south inner city, then this is the best route for you.
The busy path starts off in Camden Street, going through Kevin Street as you make your way towards Christchurch Hill. You can cross the river at Smithfield and head up to Henrietta Street, and onto Capel Street, and end your journey at the Ha'Penny Bridge.
