London Cycle Hire

No. The scheme in Dublin has been a massive, massive success. The most recent figures I have seen were that originally they had planned for 1,500 subscribers in the first year - there are approximately 30,000 people signed up. The bikes are everywhere, if you walk around the city centre I guarantee you will see someone on one within 30 seconds. They are expanding the number of bikes/racks already afaik.

that's good to know. to be fair last time i was in dublin was between christmas and new year and it was frikkety freezing.
