10 years and €5 billion later, we might have a hole in the ground.
I picture a scrote, with tyres instead of trainers, entering this thing and passing out free bikes to his acquaintances.
Maybe get public transport first?
This is cool, but the biggest issue I see if that you’re basically constructing a multi-storey underground building to store bikes with a single entry point.
So like one of these could cost tens of millions to build and knowing DCC we’d end up with like one of them inconveniently located in the middle of the Phoenix Park.
We all know whats going to happen, some drunk lads will take a bet to stay on the bike as it goes in
It would probably end up costing more that the children’s hospital
Even if it was cheap and we got planning and actually built it.
Broken in a week guaranteed.
In short, no.
More likely to be Ireland’s answer to the housing crisis.
You don’t need a fancy robot. A security guard and a large room, just like a cloak room. You give the guard your bike and s/he puts it in the lockup. You return, present your ticket and they give you back your bike.
The problem is that no one would pay the €1/hour.
No, but Bici Boxes are the solution.
Even *if* it could be built and it worked, and was in a convenient place, few cyclists would pay for the parking fees and it would go largely unused until it fell into disrepair
That would be €1800 a month + TV Licence.
Well it would certainly lead to some interesting videos of scumbags getting chewed to pieces by getting caught in the inner workings
There’s a bike cage in a lot of underground car parks in Dublin. On a private premises and usually with security. The cage usually requires a pin or fob to enter.
I’ve had 2 bikes stolen from these cages.
The only way to stop it is to mass produce an army of robogarda with their artificial intelligence powered by the DNA of Lugs Branigan
We can barely build bus stops in this country. This would take 30 years to build in Ireland, and it would cost billions
Nah, it’ll spoil some nimbys view
This was promised for Dublin, gosh… how many years ago… ah, here it is in 2015, promising it within 4 years

Yeah….we’ll get on it right after the metro.
Coming 2239
Is that Enoch Burke depositing his bike?
I take it that you’re not familiar with Ireland’s underground bicycle racing scene?
Lol, no.
A security guard would be cheaper.
As if, we never get anything good. That’s all just mad stuff they do other places. Too convenient and useful for us.
Sound yeah, estimated cost €1 million, 6 month job.
