doesn't need to be addressed just by "bread bin" type on-street parking.

When I worked for a London Borough I ran a programme to help people have secure/convenient parking with subsidised "Bikebunkers" like this www.robertdyas.co.uk/trimetals-bi... (see also Asgard and others).

Cost is...

Yep I liked the collapsible bins idea - though I’m not sure if they’d be a solution for the organic waste issue? I also like the communal bins idea - though I imagine trying to find sites for them would be a total ‘mare (as a veteran of the original bikebunkers installation.)

In Dublin, the local authority is paying for the supply (purchase), installation, and maintenance of the BikeBunkers (our company is contracted to operate this service on their behalf), and the end users pay €100/yr per parking space. Each bunker has six parking spaces.

Bleeper is delighted to be operating the #BikeBunkers service on behalf of @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social. The new website is now live and accepting submissions from people interested in using a BikeBunker. #Dublin

With BikeBunkers coming to Dublin, this UK article on the political considerations involved in accelerating delivery is extremely relevant...

"Politicians must be prepared to respectfully disagree with their residents, to deliver for their other residents."

Why we hear less from those who would benefit from change on our streets. How we accelerated our cycle hangar program. And how to deal with the feelings that surround them.

Great to see we now have 11 BikeBunkers around Stoneybatter - but it would be great to see a LOT more!

That’s just 55 (?) bike spaces to serve thousands of people living in small properties, most without gardens.

As @bleeperactive.bsky.social add new BikeBunkers to the service, they display the location of each one on a map which you can view on bikebunkers.ie

The map shows Dublin's four local authorities and that there are now 55 BikeBunkers on the streets within @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social's area.

Dublin City Council's new #BikeBunker service arose from a €4,500 BETA Project.

The first BikeBunker of the new service has now been installed, with an initial target of 1,800 BikeBunker spaces.

More info at www.bikebunkers.ie or from @bleeperactive.bsky.social

Hi Oisín, one option could be to let people themselves decide. Even with side passages, they may have reasons to want them. Then install based on demand.
November 27, 2025 at 10:57 PM
Thanks Darragh.

Also just to note that the #BikeBunkers tender and contract was designed to enable the other 3 local authorities in Dublin to use also - saving them the procurement effort and time.

So same as #DublinCanvas, it's a solution for the Dublin Region.

Hi, both should be the solution.

1. Lots of regular bike stands as the free, basic, default - for residents and visitors.

2. Then the additional option of BikeBunkers for residents who want an extra layer of security or protection.

(In terms of space, BikeBunkers are about the same efficiency.)

We've received lots of questions in the opposite direction - estate managements asking about how they could provide BikeBunkers.

So much so, some answers are provided here bikebunkers.ie/frequent-ema...

There is likely something here for the Council to support...eg info, transferable examples, etc
