i asked the planner, why theres no bike stations at the train stations and i was told that these are designed as commuting bikes and small distance travel within the city, not a tourists attraction as such. tourists will still use cycleways and the rent a place at the pheonix park etc etc.

If they’re “commuting bikes” then surely train stations might be a convenient place to put them…? I get the DART to Connolly often enough to appreciate how useful a bike stand there would be. Maybe not Tara because people would end up under the wheels of a lorry on the quays of Heuston, which no-one approaches without luggage, but Connolly would work. Until pikeys nick all the bikes.
