Getting To Trinity By Bike

If you would like to cycle but don't want to buy a bike, check out our Bike Share page here. For details of where to park on campus, see here.

Trinity regards cycling as an important tool in achieving its strategic aim of demonstrating institutional leadership by being a sustainable campus. 

Cycling is environmentally friendly, quick, cost-effective, healthy and flexible.  Trinity would like to see improved cycling infrastructure in Dublin City between its main campuses and the residences it provides for students and staff.  Both Trinity and Dublin would benefit.

Facilities

In 2011, Trinity installed approximately 40 additional Sheffield Hoops under the viaduct at the Sports Centre. We are working with Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority on an on-going basis to obtain more.
