Traffic: Schools & Sports Clubs Cycle Parking

Overview

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council invites schools and sport clubs to apply for cycle parking stands. These will be delivered to the school or sports club grounds by the Council. Interested schools and sport clubs should complete the survey at the end of this page by 27 February 2025.

Who can apply?

• All schools and sports clubs in the County that have suitable locations within their grounds for the cycle parking stands.
• If you have a suggestion for cycle parking in a public place, please email info@dlrcoco.ie.

What type of cycle parking will be supplied?

The free-standing steel toaster cycle parking stand consists of 5 cycle stands on a flat steel bar. This will provide parking for 10 bikes. The toaster cycle parking stand is 4.0m long, 600mm high and 750mm wide.

Why your views matter

• We will supply cycle parking stands to your school or sports club free of charge. 
• Priority will be given to those who are active in promoting cycling and to those who have not received cycle parking to date.

What the school/sports club needs to do:

• Schools and sports clubs should have adequate space to install/secure the cycle parking stands in a safe manner once they are delivered.
• Cycle parking stands should be located so that they are clearly visible and are easy to access, i.e. inside the school gate, not behind a club house or trees etc.
• Once the stands are delivered to the school and sports club, the stands become their responsibility. Schools and sports clubs will need to sign a waiver to accept responsibility for the cycle parking stands as part of the application process.
• Photos of any existing cycle parking stands in use can be submitted as part of the application.
