Dublinbikes (styled "dublinbikes") is a public bicycle rental scheme which has operated in the city of Dublin since 2009. At its launch, the scheme, which is sponsored by JCDecaux, used 450 French-made[3] unisex bicycles with 40 stations.[4] By 2011, this had expanded to 550 bicycles and 44 stations, and in 2013 it was announced that a major expansion of the scheme would add a further 950 bikes and another 58 hire points.[5] Dublin was the 17th city to implement such a scheme,[4][6] and it was considered one of the most successful bike-sharing schemes in the world;[7] however, progress later stalled, with only 2 of 14 phases being rolled out.
As of 2016[update] the scheme lost €376,000 a year, leading to further expansion of Dublin Bikes being put on hold.[8][9]
