You push off from Cobh’s quays with the cathedral tower behind you, bells briefly stilled by the wind. The harbour opens like a wide blue arm; ferries cut across it and gulls wheel above the carillon’s shadow. An electric bike eases you up to pace—forward motion that feels more like collaboration than effort.
