EACH new bike stand at Parnell Street in the city centre can accommodate two bicycles, a councillor has been told.
A total of 70 bike spaces at the new bike stands, Cllr O Donovan said, and she asked council officials at the last meeting of the metropolitan district the reason behind the capacity allowed on the bike stands in the street, which runs beside the bus and rail station.
In a written answer from council official Brian Kennedy, she was told the location and number of bike stands installed as part of the Parnell Street improvements scheme was based on available space.
