Dockless bike share schemes (and hopefully soon scooter schemes) should be an important component in addressing the transport needs of smaller to medium sized urban areas, especially since bus services won’t always work that well in smaller places. Over larger areas (rural areas, greenway and interurban routes say) distribution of bikes starts to become more of an issue. Plus parking stuff (although there are solutions to that like designated areas/stands)
One thing I would prefer is if more of these were being rolled out as TFI bikes, or at least interoperable off of one app/account. A patchwork of operators isn’t ideal, and if we want people to use this stuff we should want to make it easy.
“London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, New York and Washington DC” and now Castlebar! Love it 😊
When life gives you lemons, take a bike for a spin
Enda is going to be delighted!
? Bolt just arrived in my town. Where they park is near me. They look very vulnerable. Seen one dumped at in a local field. Is there no docking where you use a scan to unlock or…. no idea, never used them. Look vulnerable, seen one that was obviously robbed and dumped. Might need better security? Or.. only asking, no idea.
I live in castlebar.You can walk from one side castlebar to the other side very quickly,. I don’t really see the point, other than for travellers to knick them for scrap.

100 seems like massive overkill for Castlebar
