Mobike spotted in Lagos, Nigeria.

Either somebody has brought in a container of all those millions of discarded bikes from China or more likely this followed the same route as all the cellphones stolen in the UK which end up being sold as "Used UK Phones". This one was spotted this morning in Opebi, Lagos.

Still got the lock on - don't most of the nicked ones have it snapped off entirely?

Well it sure as heck isn't GPS enabled in Lagos! Unless somebody has brought in an FCL of bikes from China and set it up but it's a completely unsuitable bike for Africa having solid tyres and not being repairable in the bush.

I've been offered a brand new, unused Mobike - fully legit from a company in the city centre. Needless to say I refused.
