Recommended Routes

Cycling

A bicycle is a great way of commuting to and from the UCD Festival. There are over 4,000 bicycle parking spaces on campus. There are four public repair stands complete with multiple tools and an integrated bike pump located throughout UCD at the below locations:

  • James Joyce Library
  • Student Centre
  • Glenomena Student Residences
  • UCD Quinn School of Business

 

Please dismount and walk with your bike across the concourse as there will be many festival goers with children sharing these thoroughfares.
