Secure Bike Parking in Dublin City Centre?

Chumpski

Hi all,

I have recently changed jobs and I can no longer store my bike in work

I used to commute with my fancy road bike as it was safe locked up in work but I really do not want to lock it somewhere outdoors as it would for sure get stolen.

Does anybody know of a place where I could store or lock a bike in city centre near Trinity?

I do know Pearse station has bike lockers, and im thinking of that, but also its 3 euro per day (not bad i guess) and theres no guarantee a locker would be available im thinking.

I really really want to keep biking to work as it helps me stay fit and keeps me in the habit of training. Thanks!

Drury Street Car Park is reasonably secure. Security present at the door and CCTV everywhere.

Drury St is a great facility, which I used to use daily in a previous job. But a word to the wise - during a 2 / 3 year period, as will always be the case unfortunately, I did see 3 / 4 people have their bikes stolen. Usually from not having strong enough locks etc but just to note that even it's not absolutely safe.
I used to use two heavy duty motorbike locks (which I left in there) on a decent road-bike and never had any issues, but just to be aware of it - strong locks = worth their weight in gold

Good idea, you left your locks on a space? Were you worried somebody else would have that space taken for the day?

i also leave a heavy duty lock there. If someone else has their bike there just remove your lock and go to another space. There's plenty of them.

Thanks very much for info. Looks like it will be possible to continue commuting by bike with this. \o/
