The Coca-Cola Zero Bike scheme officially launched in Limerick, so don’t be frightened if you see what you think is an underfunded biker gang on red and black bikes in the city…

Minister for Education and Skills Jan O’Sullivan officially unveiled the new Coke Zero Bike Scheme in Limerick City today.

Limerick’s Bike Scheme will see 23 new stations opening up with a total of 215 bikes laid out across the city. You can see where the new stations will be located over on the official BikeShare.ie website.

Please bear in mind that some of the stations are still currently undergoing their finishing touches, but you can expect to see them all up and running in the coming weeks.

Speaking about Limerick’s new Coke Zero Bike Scheme, Minister O’Sullivan said: “I’m delighted to officially launch the Coca-Cola Zero bikes – backed by the National Transport Authority – in Limerick today and would like to congratulate everyone involved in the project.

“Limerick city is one of three centres in Ireland that is to become Ireland’s First Smarter Travel Demonstration Areas. Great progress has been made in this respect and the roll-out of the Coca-Cola Zero Bikes today provides another smarter travel option for the people of Limerick.

“It’s great to see the fantastic and accessible network of bike stations, covering everywhere from O’Connell Avenue to King John’s Castle.”
