Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take a bike outside Fingal?
Yes, you may travel outside Fingal, or between different areas within Fingal, but you can only end a trip inside a Bleeper parking zone. You can end a trip in any Bleeper zone across Dublin, including the areas of Dublin City and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown where Bleeper operates. You can also start a trip from those areas and finish it in Fingal.
Can I end a trip outside a parking zone?
No, you can only end a trip when the bike is inside a parking zone. The parking zones are displayed on the map in the Bleeper app. You can pause a trip to temporarily lock a bike when outside a parking zone.
Can I lock the bike when I'm outside a parking zone?
Yes, you can temporarily lock the bike when outside a parking zone by using the pause and unpause button in the Bleeper app to lock/unlock the bike. Close the wheel lock and tap 'Pause Trip' in the Bleeper app. You will continue to be charged while the trip is paused, but at half the normal fee (€0.02 instead of €0.04 per minute). Please note that you can only end a trip inside a parking zone.
How do I end a journey?
- First, park the bike at a public cycle parking stand within a Bleeper parking zone. These zones are displayed on the map in the Bleeper app.
- Wrap the chain around the parking stand and then close the wheel lock through the loop at the end of the chain.
- Tap 'End Trip' in the Bleeper app.
- You will be prompted to take a photo of the bike, which Bleeper checks to ensure the bike is properly parked.
