Why is this, is it the same sort of issue that
occurred with Boris bikes?

Ifthey don;t have to be locked up
and, according to the article, can be "hacked" so you can ride them without paying
then there are bound to be idiots that "hav a larf" with them

company should be made to pay for removal and damage - as soon as it costs them money they will take more notice

Previously, taxi drivers were accused of dumping bike share bikes into rivers. I don't know if any were ever charged. That's one of the reasons city-backed bikes are docked in saner cities.

Cars first!

I read an article a few months ago that claimed that the average Lime bike gets trashed, torched, dumped in water or simply disappears well before the hire fees cover its capital cost.

That's not exactly a sustainable business model.

As a non car owner I wouldn't be upset at that!

Mrs "two-cars" D might be upset as I rolled them into the canal for ther though.
