Somewhere To Lock Your Bike Up in the Airport?

    Hey Chaps,

    Is there anywhere in the airport a fellow can lock his bike? Naturally there are carparks galore but are cyclists catered for at all?

    I don't drive and neither the train or bus go early enough so it looks like I'll have to cycle there.

    Yes there are cycle racks in car park A on the ground floor beside the central mall.

    Are there any time restrictions on how long you can leave a bike there? It'd be 3* days in my case.




    I'd be using multiple locks.

    No time restrictions - I e-mailed them last year - there are (or at least were) also bike racks near the original terminal and garda station

    No - there's a bike there for years now.

    Most seem to be owned by staff. It's a busy area if that any consolation. I use it occasionally but the longest I've left my bike there was 18 hours. Never had any problems.

    Be very careful about locking your bike in the car park. When I was working in T1 I heard of quite a few stories from my colleagues about bikes being stolen. Make sure you use a good lock, it can be quite quiet in there at times. :)

    If I was you, I'd lock it in the Aer Lingus staff car park in the bike rack there. This is the car park that faces the Ryanair building and is on your left as you come into the airport from the Santry side (opposite AALSA, fuel farm on the left before the lights - then the car park). There is always a flow of people passing and the bike rack is near the barrier that I think might be covered by the CCTV that covers the barrier. Bit more of a trek to the terminal, but nothing too major as you're inside the airport itself

    I've used the carpark right beside T1 once or twice, at least once or four or five days. Just as with parking a bike in the city centre overnight etc, make sure you use at least two good locks and that both are different kind of locks.

    Although, when I came back to the bike once there was a few coffee cups on the rear carrier, which kind of gave away it was being left there for a while.
