ThinkBike Discount Codes 2026: Up to 20% OFF Bulk Orders

Though ThinkBike, your Rathmines bike shop, was established on November 1, 1998, ThinkBike history dates back many years. The Orange Tree Bakery is now where you can indulge in delectable treats from the local repair shop. Harking back to the 80's, rather than delectable cakes and the inspiring fragrance of newly prepared scones, the structure was loaded up with the smell of stuff oil, parts and extras for bicycles. It came as no surprise that the local boys chose it as their hangout spot. John Clarke, who was 12 when he joined them, was already well-versed in the cycling world. John Clarke began working as a bike mechanic at the repair shop when he was 17 years old, coached by Stephen O'Shea. He was working three jobs at once, all on the same street. John also worked in the kitchen of Flames.
