A trail-blazing set of wheels that marries style and safety

From school run to mountain biking in the Dublin foothills the Kia Niro has all the style and safety features coach Kevin Moran wants for family-time spent catching air in an urban environment

Mountain biking coach Kevin Moran teaches safety programmes to riders so they can get out and enjoy the trails armed with useful skills.

On a blustery November afternoon, Kevin Moran is planning a high-altitude adventure. “We’re heading to the Mourne Mountains tomorrow,” he explains. “The weather is looking good. The kids are ready to go, and the bike rack will be stacked. We can’t wait.” 

The father of three is no stranger to being on the move. As a former racer, Kevin spent his twenties and thirties stacking up accolades in his chosen sport - mountain biking - culminating in being crowned Irish masters national champion in 2012.
