dublin-public-cycle-parking-facilities

The Dublin Public Cycle Parking Facilities dataset provides detailed information on public cycle parking infrastructure installed across Dublin City. This includes Sheffield bike stands, cargo bike stands and cycle lockers. The data represents the geographic locations of cycle parking facilities and the number of cycle stands or lockers available at each location. The dataset supports mapping, analysis and public transparency of cycle parking facilities managed or installed by Dublin City Council. It further enables users to understand the distribution and scale of cycle parking available throughout Dublin Administrative Area, and supports planners, researchers and the public in assessing sustainable transport infrastructure within the city.

The main types of installed cycle parking infrastructure are:

Sheffield Bike Stand: It is a simple inverted U-shaped bike rack designed for secure and efficient cycle parking.

Cargo Bike Stand: Cargo bikes are cycles with purpose-built cargo carrying capacity. Electric-cargo bikes (often called e-cargo bikes) offer a greener, more sustainable mode of transporting goods than cars or vans. Cargo bike stands provide secure cycle parking for these cargo bikes.

Cycle Locker: A cycle locker is a secure unit with a lockable door which is designed to contain a single bicycle. These lockers are fitted with smartlocks, meaning a user can open and close their locker - and pay for their bike's stay - all within a simple smartphone app.
