Spanish Technology for Dublin’s Mobility

The four sites are located at Capel Street, Grafton Street, Drury Street Car Park, and Jervis Street Car Park. At Jervis Street, the infrastructure combines hardware from Irish manufacturer Larkin with Don Cicleto’s technological architecture.

“We have integrated digital access control, mobile app unlocking, and smart payment processing, operating in this trial under the local brand Cycle Parking Ireland,” confirms Pablo Rosa, CEO of Don Cicleto.

“These particular lockers are made by Larkin,” explains Hugh Cooney, CEO of Bleeper, “a Galway-based company, while the smart locks and the app that manages the lockers are made by Don Cicleto, a Spanish company.”

Each module in the system is designed to maximize available space, accommodating up to two bicycles with independent access at each end.

Within a year, we will understand the needs and know which combination of locker and app works best to decide our next steps.

Measuring Demand

Dublin City Council’s goal with this pilot project is to assess real-world infrastructure usage and evaluate how different technologies perform before planning a wider rollout across the city.

This is why the service is offered free of charge for the first two hours, encouraging users to try it for short trips or daily errands. After the second hour, the fee is €2 per hour, up to a daily maximum cap of €12.

Alec Dundon, Senior Executive Engineer at Dublin City Council’s City Centre Projects office, summarized the approach by noting that they aim to get “a clear idea of the demand that exists for this type of service. Within a year, we will understand the needs and know which combination of locker and app works best to decide our next steps”.

Una app para abrir un aparcamiento está bien. Pero ¿y si pudiera hacer mucho más?

October 21, 2026

La mayoría de aplicaciones vinculadas a los aparcamientos seguros nacieron para resolver una necesidad muy concreta: abrir una puerta. Y lo hacen muy bien. Pero ¿de verdad tiene sentido que toda la relación con el ciclista se limite a esos pocos segundos?

Safe parking is holding back the sale and use of cargo bikes in Europe

October 16, 2026

We visited the International Cargo Bike Festival held in Utrecht (Netherlands) on October 12 and 13. After speaking with many of the exhibiting brands, we drew a clear common conclusion: there is a major barrier to purchasing cargo bikes, and that is storage. And that, of course, is one of our specialties.
