Park and Bike Blanch?

    Hi, can anyone recommend a good spot to park the car, and cycle into the city centre? It's been a few years since I've done it.

    I did it for several years in one of the big car parks around the blanch centre, and the security guys never had a problem with it. I noticed a couple of other cyclists doing the same. Anyone know if this is still tolerated there?

    I did it in a retail park in Swords a few times, and one day I got a nasty big notice on my car saying I would be clamped if I did it again.

    not a bad option, but there can be bad traffic before getting into to the park.

    Doubt you'll have problems with Blanch centre. There is usually loads of space away from the shops in the bit where 53 Degrees North is located.

    Not sure about that car parkbut they do lock the other ones overnight so they may not be open for you in the morning if you're planning on arriving particularly early.

    yeah, good point. when I used it previously, that car park was the first to open and was open pretty early (can't remember what time). The others opened much later.
