Travelling by bicycle

Student Services - Galway Cycle, details of bikes - Maynooth University

Cycling is one of the most efficient transportation modes to access the University and is ideal for short to moderate journeys.

Maynooth University is committed to making the University a cycle friendly campus, providing Bicycle Parking Facilities and endeavoring to increase cycle lanes in and around the campus. The shower facilities at the sports hall, museum and the KC changing rooms are available from 8.00am.
Getting out of your car and onto your bike will not only help reduce traffic congestion and improve the environment on campus, it will make you healthier as well. Cycling reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and lowers cholesterol. It also helps tone up calves, thighs, and hips and can burn off calories at a rate of up to 700 per hour!
You will be amazed at the distance a 15-20 minute cycle will achieve.
