The Dublin Bike Scheme is being lauded as a ‘huge success’ just 11 months after it began and as the one millionth trip is about to be taken.
Labour Councillor Andrew Montague, who first proposed the scheme, said: ‘Our target was to sign up 2,000 members in the first year but in less than a year we’ve signed up 37,000 members’.
The Dublin City Council member said the scheme will get even better with the introduction of more bikes and more stations.
Mr Montague said there are hopes to extend the scheme across the capital and even into the suburbs.

I saw a happy, energetic family the other day, taking bikes from the station beside the Central Bank. Around twenty metres away from them was a filthy square-headed junkie in a blue raincoat straining to force out erratic bursts of piss streams against the wall of the bank. Spanish students were trying to eat sandwiches downstream of him. His manky piss dribbles were approaching their backpacks and they had to quickly lift them off the ground.
