    Hi Guys,

    I am starting a new job and plan to commute from the city centre to Sandyford. I was wondering is it possible to park your bike at the St. Stephens Green LUAS stop or nearby???

    Any help would be appreciated!! :)

    Make sure you have a decent lock.

    You'd be safer with two locks.

    Use a U-Lock and a normal chain lock. That way thiefs will need two sets of tools and are less likely to bother.

    To answer the OP's actual question: Yes, you can lock a bike around the St Stephens Green Luas. There are lost of bikes parked around there on a daily bases both at bike parking and at polls and railings etc.

    Two locks of a different type can be a good idea for the reason mentioned above -- it just generally makes things harder for any would be thief.

    Alternatively you could buy one of those aluminum fold up models and take it with you on the luas. :p
