Bike-sharing company Bleeper has designated a specific area in Crumlin Village where its bikes can be parked.
It's the first hub of its kind to exist in the Dublin City Council area.
This parking zone runs along St. Agnes Road between Crumlin Post Office and Crumlin Garda Station.
The company says it will allow local people to cycle more often, without having to worry about the expense or maintenance of owning a bike.
Founder and CEO of Bleeper Hugh Cooney said:
“We hope the Crumlin village suburban hub can be a stepping stone towards greater access to bike-sharing for people living in suburbs across Dublin. It has been great to get direct feedback from the community in Crumlin and to hear their enthusiasm for bike-sharing and for cycling in general".
The arrival of Bleeper bikes to Crumlin has been warmly welcomed by locals.
“We’re very excited to have a Bleeper hub coming to Crumlin and to be the first suburb to try out this great idea where people who wouldn’t normally have access to it can now take part in a bike-share scheme we see all over Dublin,” says Michelle Hardiman, of Crumlin Community Cycles.
