After the inner city, the Kimmage-Rathmines area is one of the first areas to get the lockersA total of 1,463 Dublin residents have registered their interest in renting 2,633 potential spaces in on-street bicycle lockers called BikeBunkers, which are aimed at residents without secure bicycle parking near their homes. That data is as of last month, when around 20 BikeBunkers had been installed, providing 120 spaces. It is planned that the rollout will initially include around 300 lockers, totalling in the order of 1,800 spaces. So demand is already exceeding that. It was provided to Cllr Fiona Connelly(Labour), who asked Dublin City Councils chief executive a written question looking for an update on the rollout of the lockers.Spaces in the BikeBunkers cost 100 to rent, and the planned rollout includes 300 locker units, each with 6 spaces. The lockers are shared with fellow residents, and only those who are renting a space can unlock the doors using an app. Users are also recommended to lock their bicycles within the lockers. Council officials said that Bleeper, the company managing the system for the council, is currently installing 2-4 lockers per inner-city neighbourhood before revisiting areas where demand remains high. Beyond the canals, the rollout of BikeBunkers to suburbs is expected in 3-4 months, with the Kimmage Rathmines Electoral Area being one of the first areas to get the lockers.Cllr Connelly asked: Could the Council please provide an update on the provision of bike bunkers in the area (Kimmage-Rathmines), including how many have been allocated, how many applications have been received, and how many have been installed to date?An official Dublin City Council reply said: The programme for the BikeBunkers project operates on a demand-led basis, with installations being the response of a cluster of expressions of interest submitted by residents through the BikeBunkers website bikebunkers.ie. All expressions of interest are geographically mapped and used to inform delivery planning. Bike Bunkers are being installed in neighbourhoods on a weekly basis and are almost immediately filled by local residents. Installations continue on an alternating northside/ southside basis, subject to demand and site suitability, the council said.As of 24.02.2026, a total of 1463 residents have registered their interest and applied for a total of 2633 spaces. Approximately 20 BikeBunkers have been installed.Installations within the canals are ongoing. Following the initial provision of 24 BikeBunkers per neighbourhood, these areas are being revisited to install additional units where demand remains high. We plan to move to the suburbs in 3-4 months and will begin in the Kimmage Rathmines Electoral Area, the council said. The responses said that there would be a prioritisation of locations based on the number and concentration of expressions of interest received, alongside assessment of available kerbside space, local constraints and suitability for installation.It added that BikeBunkers are only installed where expressions of interest have been received from residents.
