Find Secure Bike Parking
Dublin City Council has installed thousands of bicycle parking spaces across Dublin in recent years. Find out more about the bicycle parking options available to you.
Cycling numbers in Dublin have more than doubled in the last decade. This increase means there is much more demand for bike parking in the city. To keep up with this demand, Dublin City Council installed 8,646 bicycle parking spaces between 2013 and 2023. We continue to expand this number.
On-Street Bike Parking
Bicycle parking can be installed on publicly accessible land in suitable locations that have enough space. For bicycle 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.
Cargo Bike Parking
Bicycle parking for cargo bikes is now available on-street at St. Stephen’s Green and on Manor Place under cover at Park Rite on Drury Street, the APCOA car park on Jervis Street and Q-Park The Spire on Cathal Brugha Street.
Indoor Bicycle Parking
Dublin City Council is working in partnership with car park providers to offer provide indoor bicycle parking at central locations in the city.
