Costock_Fox Posted 23 August 2016 Share Posted 23 August 2016 So, I'm sick of sitting in traffic for an hour when I could be at home in the same time on my push bike. Does anyone know of a bike park near the stadium? Surely the club/council would want to reduce traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 23 August 2016 Share Posted 23 August 2016 There's one at the Town Hall, but would be quite a walk. Train station normally has some spaces as well. Also noticed some on Wellington Street, by Adult Learning Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was hoping for something close to the ground so I can get on the canal pretty sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a cycle park at the ground (East), mate has used it several times although not his best idea after the Everton game riding home along the canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, never fell in but fell off twice and arrived back in Thurmaston about an hour after us even though we walked to town and bus from there Apparently there's about 20 spaces, enter via Car Park B and show them your ST (or whatever ticket you have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, sounds like I will have to get down there nice and early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell sprout Posted 23 August 2016 Share Posted 23 August 2016 Hamilton fans in Scotland have been doing this,the reward for the burnt calories is a free pie,though I struggle to see how it might help congestion with there pathetic attendances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livid Posted 24 August 2016 Share Posted 24 August 2016 There's one in the car park at the back of the East Stand with lockers for helmets etc. Not sure if it's first come first served or you have to get a locker key from the club. I considered it at the beginning of last season, emailed the club but didn't get a reply ( or it went into the junk/spam folder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey. No wonder not many people cycle. Great thread Costock_Fox. We often walk to the ground from town but if they provided more cycle parking we'd definitely do that. Certainly might address some of the traffic problems on match days if more people felt able to cycle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 24 August 2016 Share Posted 24 August 2016 There's more than 20 spaces! There is a cycle rack hub in the car park, it gets pretty busy on matchdays but I've cycled to quite a few matches and locked my bike there. It's great but you need to remember to bring your own D lock (and a separate padlock if you want to lock your belongings/cycling gear in the lockers) and after the match, it's pretty congested so you have to be careful when taking your bike around the ground. I'd definitely recommend using the car park cycling hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah recon I would need to wait for 30 mins after the match before setting off or could just get a spike fitted to the front then the bastards will move ha.

GorlestonFox Posted 30 August 2016 Share Posted 30 August 2016 I'm sure I saw a cycle park tent in the car park between the west stand and the family stand at the Swansea game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 30 August 2016 Share Posted 30 August 2016 After what I said earlier, I got stung. All the bike racks were full by the time I got to the ground on Saturday. I ended up parking up by the steel fences at the back of the car park and my D lock fell through the fence and into the factory on the other side!
