Bike Hire in Dublin
Despite Dublin not having a bike lane, which means that bicycle riders must share the roads with cars and buses, many Dubliners prefer to rent a bike as means of transport to get around the capital.
Curiously, Dublin is one of the capital cities of the world where more bicycles are stolen. For this reason, second-hand bikes and Dublinbikes are extremely popular.
