J4MES OX4D 9,798 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 IMO these are the worst things ever invented. In theory, they are ideal if used appropriately but 9 times out of ten this is not the case and I'm fed up of seeing my city and its surrounding areas plagued of them. I probably see one every 20 seconds when I'm out and about; either dumped across the pavement or parked in an irritating place. Funnily enough I don't see anybody ever using them. I honestly don't know how the company behind them makes any money especially considering how many are fished out of rivers each week around the globe. I find these bikes more problematic than litter and it just makes places look very untidy. I bet if I went and took 100 pictures in and around Oxford now, 99 would have one of these shitty bikes in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason 1,245 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm curious if they're tossed all over D. C, but you won't catch me going there anytime soon to find out. Via the FG App BEARDED, FOR HER PLEASURE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 They are everywhere in the USA (different brands of them). Cities I've lived in that have them included Minneapolis, San Antonio, Dallas and NYC. MSP uses motorized scooters instead of the pedal bikes like SATX and Dallas do. I have never seen a mess like that however, unlucky. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,588 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Oxford? Students? End of story. I think we have three different cycle schemes in London but even us low lifes can keep it tidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 10,887 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Are these free or something? Concept might make sense but its hugely flawed in a country like ours. Maybe just keep it them for only upper class Cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
