I see the Chineese model has landed in Dublin, I saw a couple of the bikes up around where I live yesterday. Gonna download the app, I use the Dublin Bikes from time to time so a mix of both options could be good info here http://goos3d.ie/bleeperbikes-or-dublin-bikes/" rel="nofollow - http://goos3d.ie/bleeperbikes-or-dublin-bikes/ So I have the app, there are a lot of the bikes most of them are in the city, but there some in Terenure, Rathmines and other places where there are no Dublin bikes..so looks like it'll be handy for locations outside of the Dublin Bikes scheme

Yeah, it's the areas that don't have DBs that will be best for this. The big concern is drink cycling: they'll have to time restrict it like DB, otherwise it'll be a total disaster at 3am on a Saturday night. -------------

That's a very good point on the late night bikes. You could easily see one and think ah f**k it I'll grab the bike - I've cycled home manys a time after having a few too many on my own bike, it's not a very bright thing to do, so a novice cyclist grabbing one of those bikes could end in tragedy. ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

What's the craic with parking them up? Is it true you can leave them anywhere in the city once they aren't causing an obstruction or on private grounds? ------------- El Puto Amo |

Yeah, it's total madness to do it. I've done it at times when I shouldn't have done it and woken up with little recollection of getting home. It's really stupid. If you tried to cycle down Camden Street (with the taxis) or Harcourt Street (with the luas lines) at 3 or 4am, after a skinful, you're asking for trouble. They'd have to timelock them. -------------
