Cycle Parking
Cycling numbers in Dublin have more than doubled in the last decade. This increase means there is much more demand for cycle parking in the city. To keep up with this demand DCC have installed 5,956 cycle parking spaces since 2013, and are aiming to add another 2,000 cycle parking spaces in 2021 and 2022.
Drury Street cycle parking facility
Indoor cycle parking in the heart of the city centre is available at Park Rite on Drury Street. The facility has 300 cycle parking spaces, including cargo bike spaces and bicycle maintenance area with basic tools for repairs. The facility is bright, spacious and is monitored by CCTV security cameras.
Cycle parking is available free of charge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Request cycle parking
DCC provides cycle parking in public areas, residential areas as well as in schools and sports clubs. You can make a request for cycle parking in any of these areas.
Public cycle parking
Cycle parking can be installed on publically accessible land in suitable locations that have enough space. For cycle parking to be installed on a footpath, the path needs to be at least 3.3 metres wide. More space will be needed in areas of high footfall.
If you have a suggestion for where cycle parking is needed, please complete the Covid Mobility Request Form or email [email protected]. Our cycle parking team will assess the spaces suggested and provide new cycle parking based on suitability and demand.
Cycle parking for schools
To support more students to cycle to school, DCC is providing schools with free cycle and scooter parking. In 2020 DCC provided 63 schools with cycle parking for over 1,400 bikes.
Applications for cycle and scooter parking are currently open. Please ask your School Principal to complete the online application form.
