Over 6,000 people availed of the new Dublin bike scheme last week.
Today at the Grantham Street bicycle bay all 20 bicycles were out and about.
The scheme seems to be proving a runaway success.
A one year subscription costs €10. It can be obtained by logging on to www.dublinbikes.ie.
The first 30 minutes is free.
A pity they do not have bays at Heuston and Connolly Stations. Against that, it is not advisable to take a bike if you have a specific deadline. Say you arrive at your destination bay and all 20 slots are engaged? Where then do you leave the bike?
With the dublinbikes.ie scheme and the tax back scheme if you buy a bike through your employer there are many extra bicycles on the roads in Dublin.
Unfortunately some of the arrogant style 'gentlemen' who drive flash cars seem to have moved over to pedal power. They are as annoying on bicycles as they are in cars. And more dangerous.
