Having ridden back to the top of the sport of pro cycling in the past couple of seasons, Team Sky rider Philip Deignan will be in Ireland for public appearances this week.
On Wednesday the Donegal man will be on hand in the Cycleways store in Dublin’s north inner city to launch the new range of Frog bikes for children.
He will meet and greet fans from 2pm at the well known bike shop in Parnell St, Dublin 1, close to the Ilac Shopping Centre.
Deignan will be available for photos and autographs and to take questions in what will be an informal gathering.
The Cycleways business is owned by Rás winners Philip Cassidy and Brian Connaughton and is now selling the new Frog range.

The mini Team Sky bikes are among a wide range of new Frog machines especially made for kids.
The mounts are racing bikes for children, with one model in the Team Sky livery the stand out from the range.
“Everyone is welcome to pop in and have a chat with Philip and check out the bikes,” said Philip Cassidy.
“Philip is at the end of another great season and because one of the bikes in the range is a Team Sky bike we had to get him here for the launch."
On Thursday Deignan will join Sam Bennett (NetApp Endura), Dan Martin (Garmin-Sharp) and Nicolas Roche (Saxo Tinkoff) for “An Evening with the Irish Cycling Pros” at the Dunboyne Castle Hotel in Dunboyne, Co Meath.
Doors open at 7pm and the ticketed event is scheduled to unfold over two hours.
It will take the shape of a meet and greet and public interview, with questions also taken from the floor.
