The Bike Hub: Making cycling accessible to people of all abilities

A new facility which gives people access to cycling regardless of their age, ability or income is opening in Dún Laoghaire.

The Bike Hub will provide cycles which can be used by people with disabilities and upcycle donated bikes for people on low incomes.

Located opposite the RNLI station in Dún Laoghaire harbour the hub will host two trishaws bought by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and also cycles that can be used by people with different abilities.

The Bike Hub will also host a handcycle for use by wheelchair users, a tricycle for older people or those who have trouble with their balance and a tandem.

The tandem can used by people with visual impairment who would cycle with a sighted pilot as the front of the pair.
