    Hi all,

    Quick question re Oxegen this year, I'm coming from Dublin and I want to know:

    Is anyone cycling?
    Has anyone ever cycled?
    Does anyone know anyone who has?
    Are there facilities for locking/ storing bikes?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've cycled from dublin to punchestown a good few times. It's a fine cycle but I'd advise you to avoid the N7, it's not nice cycling beside large trucks going 100km/h, even if you're allowed on the road. Try a route like this: http://goo.gl/maps/y7wJ3

    I very much doubt there'll be anywhere provided to lock a bike, but you could possibly try find a sturdy looking fence in the carpark? Definitely wouldn't risk it with a valuable bike. Another option would locking up somewhere in Naas and getting a shuttle bus out to Punchestown, but again leaving a bike overnight there wouldn't be great.

    Gentleman, many thanks for the info. Reckon we will give it a go :)
