Live in Dublin city centre with no bicycle storage space? Dublin City Council are trialing a solution which you can sign up for.
You can read more about the idea of on-street bicycle lockers in our article from last year, or you can sign up here to let the council you’re interested in renting a space if they roll out the lockers after the trial of the first unit. They will also soon be expanding the trial and allowing more residents of the Dublin 8 area to use the free space in the current locker.
If you’re free at lunch time tomorrow, Saturday January 24, the Beta Project will be showing the public inside the lockers:
We’ll be at #BikeHangarBeta at lunchtime today (and tomorrow) if you’d like to see it open! https://t.co/VSMUQpd06u pic.twitter.com/olTCO20p6Q

If you have not lived in the city centre where there’s few secure places to lock your bicycle, the issue may not be too apparent. But city centre residents see the point:
