This afternoon.
Dublin City Council Beta Project’s test bike hangar installed on John Dillon Street, Christchurch Dublin.
But…

The site where you are supposed to give feedback is very confusing and non user friendly. I think these could transform the Dublin cycling experience
and put you guys out business.Can you pass that onto them [DCC]? Ta.

Worth a punt instead of keeping the bike on the balcony. But DCC need to get real about what cyclists are facing with gangs stealing bikes and exporting them. A bike shed screwed into the road would take five minutes with an angle saw and jack hammer to remove, and that is what cyclists are facing.
Ah now… a jack hammer.
“Quiet there lads, put the jack hammer on silent mode”
How many bike thieves will it hold and how do we pelt them with fruit?
I preferred the old fashioned stocks personally.
Dogs, big ones, pee through the grill on the side.
It’s as ugly as sin and I’d say it’ll be spray painted within hours.
If the bikes stay inside, and the graffiti makes it look better…win win no?!
Maybe for the six people who park their bikes in it.
looks good – the more the install the least likely they are to be vandalised
That is a very ugly eyesore and taking up a perfectly good parking spot.
I would love to see an enterprising couple of thieves lifting one of these onto a trailer.
I don’t think it’s ugly compared so, say, your car.
I drive a golf GTI MK 6 with lovely 18 inch alloys and led lights (back and front).
No leather seats but heated.
So, a bike shed made from a cow shed ain’t got shite on my baller ride.
Ya feel me hippy?
Sounds ugly as fupp
I smell jelly.
I got something similar for my 18th too. I grew out of it.
Word.
That’s great. Just last week I got a BOSCH WAQ2836SGB Washing Machine with a stainless steel finish. It’s got an 8kg capacity.
Slick as man, see you round town for the cruise.
Do the lights have strobe capabilities?
Strobes 4 dayz… I be straight up gangster.
I’ve seen naked boobs.
They see me rolling… they hate it…riding dirty
Plonker.
Yup, a perfectly good parking spot on public property is being turned into an even better parking spot that has the ability to facilitate more users. Progress, eh
I don’t understand. How do you get bikes in and out?
If anyone can open it how is it secure?
You lock up your bike inside, on a rack, so the cover is just to keep the weather off.
So it’s just a rack like hundreds of others except with a cover. How is this any more secure?
Can’t wait to see how this falls asunder
Why? You don’t like progress or just a begrudging asshole?
No, just a cynic.
No need t’be like that Marky
See, I’m not all that convinced that professional gangs in big vans are the ones knocking off the bikes
I reckon the majority of the bike robbers are cyclists
And that Anderson Shelter Type Yoke makes it even easier for the thieving ünt cyclist to pick and choose what bike they wanna go home on.
Enough with begrudging for feck sake, would you ever like something and stop being so dull ya feckers.
As I understand it, you pay an annual fee to put your bike in the locker and you receive a key. The unit is locked and can only be opened by subscribers with keys. Your bike is also locked to a pole inside the unit. My on street parking permit for my car costs €40 per annum. I would happily pay the same to put my bike in one of these units and get it out of my hallway. If DCC can get 6 or more bikes in one such unit then they will make 6 times the money from a single car space.
Any pic of it open?
