Two Dublin Bikes in Dunlaoghaire, is this a record?

Run_to_da_hills

I saw a couple cycling two Dublin Bikes through main street Dunlaoghaire, apart from the expense, these two must have been fit.

Whats the furthest you have seen or cycled one of these from the main catchment area?

I saw one being cycled back from the huge pier at Pigeon House Road, and I heard a story of a couple of students who cycled to Belfast, then hired a van and drove back, and returned them within the 24 hour limit.

I assume that some nutjob is going to give the Wicklow 200 a go on one?

Saw one in Donnybrook.

Wouldn't want to get a puncture and be too far from a parking bay.

Saw someone going towards Finglas from the canal at Broombridge on Sunday I think.

I reckon it'd be good to extend them a bit good bit further outside the city, it might encourage even more usage

I saw two up the top of Howth a few weeks back

Saw someone in Castleknock on Saturday on one!

I was in Africa last month, and saw some guy cycling round on a Parisian velib!

In fairness, Dun Laoghaire isn't that far.

Far enough for some people to get lost.

That depends on the route you take.

Edit: Damn you, Dirk!

I got to Killiney before I got lost.

Its far enough on a 3 speed velib that weighs a ton.

Not really. I've seen people with little fitness ride similar or worse bikes that far.

I actually found the dublin bikes pretty nippy, steering was a little wild and I find it hard to get used to riding upright again, but they can go when they want to.

I have yet to see a single person on one

Saw one locked outside WestWood gym in Clontarf/Fairview, not that far out but seems expensive to use one and leave it outside while working out in the gym.
They really should have a station in the middle of the Phoenix Park, around the zoo perhaps as it would give people a chance to cycle out and then use the park for a walk/run before cycling back.

Who ever had it would have used up far more calories getting to the Gym than working out. :pac:

I saw two coming through Shankill, coming from the Bray direction.

Saw two ascending the Poggio in Enniskerry.
