Ireland’s first public bicycle share system for cargo bicycles is to be launched by Fingal County Council tomorrow (Thursday).
The cargo bike unlocked fee is €3, with the first 120 minutes free of charge per minute. After 120 minutes, a fee of €0.05 per minute is charged.
Stephen Mc Ginn, one of Fingal County Council’s walking and cycling officers said: “We’ve a very exciting project going live from tomorrow (4th May) with Bleeper. Dublin’s first public share eCargo Bike will be available from Mountview Community Centre in Dublin 15.”
As with most similar schemes around the world, the cargo bike must be returned to its original location at the end of your trip.
The council said that to use the bicycle you need access to two mobile apps: the Bleeper app to unlock the bike, and the EVVA Airkey for the bike storage bunker. The latter involves contacting Bleeper customer service on your first use.
