Taking a bike to ER

[Irish_Steve]

Hi all

I'm sure there was a thread about this yonks ago but I can seem to find the appropriate words in the search engine

Has anyone taken a bike to ER, chained it up and then come back to it after the game to find it still there lol

Thinking of cycling up tomorrow but obviously need somewhere safe and secure to lock the bike up too, I'm sure someone said it was possible behind the West Stand but I may be wrong

Any help/advice well appreciated

Plenty cycle lock up space in the west car park. It was pretty well used on Thursday.

Yes I was one of those that used it.
They could almost do with a second cycle rack now.,in the meantime there are plenty of railings and posts as backup.

...Ur bike will be fine, stewards and polis aplenty

Yeah should be fine, just remove the wheels, brakes, seat, handlebars and chain before you hit the ground, mind chain the frame up though, the ****ers will be away with that

Done it a few times and the guy that sits next to me does it regular.

Cycle Parking I use is behind West Stand, no idea about elsewhere.

Cheers all

I'm in the FFU so don't mind walking round from the West

To be honest, I’d never thought about cycling to ER. That seems like a good idea. Hibs should create some kind of permanent parking solution at the corner between the east and ff stands. Something needs to go in the corner.

There is a car park there at the minute, I walk past it just before entering the turnstiles into the FFU.

A bloke stands with a clipboard and checks off the car registrations as they enter.

Maybe during boring games we could get on our bikes and race round the run-off areas of the pitch.......

As other posters have stated, bike racks in the west stand car park. Never had any issues leaving it chained there.

I've taken the bike a few times, my preferred method of getting to ER given I stay the other side of Edinburgh.

Takes me half the time to get to the ground compared to if I drove or got the bus!

I’ve cycled a few times and left the bike at Meadowbank Sainsbury’s and walked through.

Didn’t know about bike parking behind the west stand, so I’m glad to read this thread. As others have said, cycling is quicker and greener

Hail or snow or thunderstorms I cycle every game. There are a few cycle racks in the west stand car park and your bike will be safe as houses with the security around. I just leave my pannier bag with my waterproofs there too.

Cycling to the games has definitely become a lot more popular over the last couple of seasons and the club should see about fitting more racks and promoting it with their ‘greenest club in Scotland claim’. There is nothing about cycling on the ‘getting there’ page on our website.
