Dublin city bike parking places making progress

The new free bikes for Dublin are making progress. Attached is a photo of the installation on Exchequer Street.

Will these bikes make Dublin a better place to live?

Yes, in my opinion. However more needs to be done to remove traffic and make it safer to cycle.

And what about other places? Smaller cities would surely benefit even more as the residential/business radius is less and so using a bike makes more sense.

Shouldn't we see bikes in Limerick, Cork, Galway, Sligo, Waterford and more?
