Can anyone please let me know if it permissible to bring a second hand bicycle from the South over and what taxes (if any) I might need to pay?
Looking at a high end (ish) road bicycle in the €750 region. Thanks for any advice.

Why don't you ride it over I am sure no-one will take much notice.

Agree, treat as your own. I am unsure of tax on cycles, especially 2nd hand.

If it will fit in the back of your car with a wheel off put it in, if they ask, you took it for service at cycle shop near Alpha mega my husband takes his over for service never had a problem

thanks Loobyloo - thats sounds like a good plan, and yes it would be on the back of the car.
