A Bike Library is a bike sharing scheme for families to promote a shift towards sustainable transport.
Cycling instead of driving helps to reduce traffic emissions and creates healthier and more liveable local communities.
- Francesco Pilla
The Idea behind a Bike Library is to provide local communities with the opportunity to run their own bike sharing scheme focusing on their specific needs.
Think of it as a traditional book library where, instead of books, families can borrow different types of bikes, ebikes and cargo bikes for a long period of time.
It's about giving a choice to parents when they are travelling to school with their kids, a choice to use a bike rather than a car. It's all about trying to meet the climate targets for Dublin and having more sustainable options than the car.
