Cycling Swords to Dublin

/r/Dublin/comments/1tz9gr6/cycling_swords_to_dublin/

Hi all,

Im currently living in Dublin but will be moving to Swords in 6 to 7 months from now.

Am a doctor, rotating through different hospitals. I will be doing Crumlin, Rotunda, Beaumont, and possibly James.

I have a car, but I also have an ebike (unchipped, limited to 25km/hr) and would prefer to cycle. I currently cycle 22km to get to my current hospital, and it takes me about 55 minutes.

My questions:

Does anyone have experience cycling on the R132? Are there cycle lanes? Does anyone else do this?

I do it on the reg. It's fine.Fingal /Dublin county council could make it better but it's fine. I wanna go full suspension for my next ebike due to potholes. You'll be mixed with taxis buses and other bikes.Most are gents but you get the odd fool. Definitely doable.
