An upgrade of the Drury Street bicycle parking unit is nearly finished. The expansion of the unit increases the number of bicycle parking spaces from a capacity of around 196 spaces to 356 spaces.
Stephen Moloney, who shared the images, tweeted: “Nice one, @DubCityCouncil. Enhanced, secure bike parking on #DruryStreet is so welcome. Including fabulous little air and repair station!” (pictured, right).
...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...
The bicycle parking unit — which is on the ground floor of the Dublin City Council-owned Drury Street car park — was originally developed by removing car parking spaces.
The original area shown above was revamped, while the first image below shows the expanded area in a lower part of the building, which was previously a private storage room.
...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
Delighted this is nearly finished. I was able to park my Bicycle about two weeks ago on the slope of the way up the Carpark, they had put Bike Parking in on either side. Hats off to DCC, nice work.
