If, as you say, you're off the beer and not leaving it overnight you're pretty safe anywhere around the RDS. I go to the Grandstand, entrance F and chain it up wherever is free (and not blocking people) close to the ground. Railings, lamposts whatever. There are lots of people around so if someone gets out a lumphammer or wrench it will be noticed. Not saying anyone would do anything but there are Gardaí around so it's probably not the most attractive venue for a bike thief. A large proportion of thieved bikes aren't really properly locked I am told. You certainly see a lot around town that you could whip off the quick release front wheel and wheel of, and walk away with. Front wheels are cheap enough...
People bring bikes in the main entrance on Anglesea road and lock them inside RDS

This is true & there is plenty of space (poles / railings) available for bike parking in the RDS.
Yeah but us cyclists are REALLY lazy when it comes to walking and that would add an extra 10 minutes onto my journey. Which does partially defeat the purpose of cycling. If I wanted to park well away from the entrance/exit I could drive.

Eh how does it add 10 minutes walking time?
When you go in that carpark entrance you can get your ticket scanned just beyond the ticket collection office. From the entrance to the grandstand is at max a 90sec stroll.

Do they let you? Cool, I'll try it out next time I cycle in. Thanks for the tip.
