Bring Dublin Bikes to North of the Canal Out to the M50
Dublin Bikes were a great addition to Dublin City when they were introduced. Thousands of people use them every day - they're a cleaner, greener and cheaper form of transport and one of the quickest ways to get around the city but huge areas of Dublin City have no access to them.
In 2010, plans to expand Dublin Bikes were announced that would see stations as far North as DCU and as far South as UCD. The Fianna Fáil-Green Party government of the day did not deliver and the plans were shelved.
This petition calls on Dublin City Council to expand Dublin Bikes - bringing them to the Ballymun-Finglas area which is in dire need of greater active travel options and to expand to other areas north of the canal too - ideally expanding the scheme inside Dublin City Council's area to the M50 with a view to expanding out into county Dublin in future.

Why is this important?
More and more people are looking for ways to avoid the slog of commuting through traffic in private cars or buses.
Cycling is a great alternative - fast, no charging neccessary and with health benefits too.
Dublin Bikes is a cheap, accessible scheme that gives people the option to cycle without owning a bike or having to maintain one.
Up to now it's been limited to between the Royal and Grand Canals - with earlier plans to expand the scheme shelved during the austerity years.
We want to see Dublin City Council expand the scheme so that people in Ballymun, Finglas, Santry, Glasnevin, Whitehall, Beaumont and further afield on the Northside can benefit from it too.
