Festival-goer cracks big festivals with one clever hack
A festival-goer may have discovered one of the most underrated hacks for navigating large music festivals - bringing a bike.
Oliver White, 25, cycled over 2,000km from Madrid, Spain, to Somerset, England, to attend Glastonbury.
But while his journey earned him media attention, it was what he did with the bike once inside the festival grounds that truly made his experience unforgettable.
While other attendees trudged between distant stages and queued for hours in post-festival traffic, Oliver cruised around with ease.
Over the three-day weekend, Oliver says he saw around 50 performances - averaging more than 15 per day - thanks to the speed and freedom his bike gave him.
The 25-year-old managed to catch every artist on his list and avoid the infamous gridlock on departure day.
Oliver, from Grange, County Sligo in Ireland, said: "It was such a great and unexpected experience."
"And I definitely wouldn't have been able to accomplish that without my bike."
When he first arrived, Oliver wasn't even sure the festival would let him bring it in.
But since he had listed his mode of entry as "bicycle" he was allowed in with his bike in tow."
What began as a simple transport solution quickly turned into a full-blown festival hack.
Oliver said: "I'd planned on leaving it with a man who had a caravan outside the festival to store bikes in."
"But once I got there, they just let me in and I was able to go do some interviews with media outlets about my journey."
"After that, the crew said I could keep it with me so I did."
"No one else questioned me for the rest of the time so I was free to move about as I wished."
Oliver spent the rest of the week enjoying the many advantages of having a bike.
He was warned by staff that the festival would become too crowded for cycling from Friday onwards but Oliver made it work.
As a result, he was able to catch all his favourite acts including Kneecap, Neil Young and even the surprise Pulp gig.
Oliver said: "It was such a game changer really."
"I used it to skip the 40 minute walk to go and see Kneecap, enjoying a 10 minute cycle instead."
"I could travel between stages super quickly so when I heard Pulp were the surprise act, I was able to make it to the Pyramid stage pronto."
"On Saturday, I also cycled from the Park Stage to the Acoustic Stage, which are at opposite ends of the map and it only took me 15 minutes."
"It just meant I didn't have to worry about missing an artist I really didn't want to miss for the whole festival."
During the day, Oliver would secure the bike to nearby fences or leave it near the stage and at night, he used designated property lock-up stations.
Oliver said: "Once I got into the logistics of having the bike there, I realised I had no plan of how to keep it safe."
"I soon figured out there was a free lock up station about 50 feet from my tent, so that helped for when I was sleeping."
"And when I was out and moving, I really just trusted my fellow festival-goers."
"I would leave my bike by the side of a stage, either locked or not and when I would come back to check on it, it would always be there."
Oliver didn't see many other cyclists at the festival - especially during the peak days - but he plans to use this hack at future events.
Oliver said: "I would say I saw about 20 other cyclists maximum across the whole festival weekend."
"I'm not sure why so few people do it."
"Especially because it was such a advantage for getting in and out of the festival as well."
"No grid lock traffic and you're able to move independently."
"It's something that, as long as rules allow, could definitely be applied to other big festivals."
"I would certainly recommend it as a quick, cheap and sustainable way of travelling round large festival grounds."
