The solution for this is to improve biking infrastructure.
- Symbiote 7d agoNot only that. Copenhagen is littered with electric hire bikes, very often just a few steps from a bike rack with empty spaces. Only one of the companies makes users photograph the bike to show it's been returned to a suitable spot.
- hobofan 7d agoPhotographing bikes or electric scooters does nothing without enforcement through the city. It allows tracking down the person who placed it wrong, but in the absence of fines through the city, the rental companies surely won't start fining their customers and drive them away.
- rglullis 7d agoThe Lime app (bikes and scooters) refuses to close down a trip if you enter an area where parking is forbidden or if the picture shows that the vehicle is blocking the sidewalk or pedestrian paths. It will also 100% forward you a fine if they get one and their records show you were the last user who misplaced it.
- lynx97 7d agoI doubt that. Across the street of our small organic shop around the corner is a bike parking spot. Still, I recently fall over a bike parked directly in front of the door of said shop. Bike people are lazy more often then not.
- rglullis 7d agoIf someone parks a car in an illegal area, it can and should be towed. Same for bikes. Part of the needed "biking infrastructure" is proper policing and enforcement.
