  • Not perse, as the buses are pretty shite. They only take certain routes, on the bikes you can cut across the city centre :)

    They have been expanding them, there's a few docks all over Belfast now.

    Unfortunately the local hoods have vandalized quite a few, so they may have to go up in price.

  • Just had a look at the Belfast Bikes site and the locations are a lot more spread out than I recalled! Last time I checked they went no further West than Royal Avenue and no further East than the Odyssey (though it seems that the East-West range is also a lot smaller than the North-South range).

    Not surprising about the vandalism unfortunately. I had to explain to my wife that not only do the bus stops not have electronic notice boards to say when the next bus is due, but they don't even have a paper timetable due to vandalism...

  • Oh, that's strange as the one near my road does have a paper timetable. It depends on the area maybe?

    The Belfast city centre ones tend to have electronic timetables (which don't fix the famous "no bus, then 3 at once" issue) the ones that aren't pink/white (metro) usually don't.

    There's bike polo on Sundays these days and various cycling groups, so if you want to meet people socially when over, feel free to send a PM.
