Clonakilty gears up for bike rental scheme

A community bicycle rental scheme, the first of its kind in an Irish town, is being planned for West Cork.

Under a proposal currently being worked on by local businesspeople, mini bicycle-docking stations, each holding about 10 bikes, will be located in the grounds of hotels in Clonakilty and surrounding areas such as Inchydoney, Dunmore, Rosscarbery, and Courtmacsherry.

In Clonakilty, the docking stations and their bikes will be painted in the town colours of green and red.
