There's too many about and they just look disgusting on our streets. Not to mention blocking just about everything and causing a narrow pathway for foot traffic

I think the giant egg advertisement is not helping here…
The issue with Lime bikes could be solved tomorrow if the state government got it together and let Councils regulate parking.
Fact is share bikes are here to stay, and they’re a fantastic affordable and sustainable form of transport. No point in getting angry, after all, consider how much space is dedicated to cars in the City whilst pedestrians and bikes are forced to the margins.
Sorry but I’m more interested in the giant yoshi egg!
I have had 3 lime bikes “fall” on my car and the damage is over $5k
When they are parked outside my house I move them to the nearest cross street on the road.
I am over it
It’s such a stupid location for the giant egg
Yep, they definitely need to be parked on the road rather than the footpath. The City of Sydney has started converting some on-road car parking spaces for this and should do more.
Not just the streets, some fuckwit joy riders even park them on private properties!
Found one on my driveway 2 weeks ago and only a threat to call the council got it removed from there.
Half the footpath near the corner of Broadway and Harris St is clogged up by these bloody things. Either ban them or create a dedicated parking location for them.
I was a firm lime bike hater but tbh I’ve come around and kinda like it.
I do think we need more cycle ways or just a different way of managing the amount of bikes but overall they are a net positive and Limepass is actually a pretty sweet deal for getting around to like the beach or somewhere parking is tragic.
Hate to say it but I think the lime bike issue is turning into a generational debate of people that don’t want change v people that like the offering!
They definitely need dedicated parking. They’re an absolute menace for people in wheelchairs who can’t get past them on the footpath.
What do you mean, the app makes them take a photo that says it’s parked correctly! /s
If you think they take up too much space and get in everybody’s way, wait until you hear about cars.
I’ve had these appear on foot paths near my place and the streets tight almost scratched my car. So the other day I just got fed up and picked them all up and threw chucked them into the park.
I am tempted to just take my sledge hammer out smash them up.
I’m so sick of them.
A dock system is so much better
Damn! I walked past this monstrosity mid afternoon, was a shit show trying to walk through it along with uber riders and other pedestrians then at the intersection… looks like they’ve multiplied!
These e-bikes could honestly be such a good thing but unfortunately for every good user, there’s probably 2 that don’t give a crap and just litter the streets with them.
Combine that with the drunk boofheads that will just knock them over because they think it’s funny..
Such a shame, honestly. No wonder Melbourne banned them.
There are often Lime Bikes blocking the driveway of the building in which I live, making it impossible for residents to drive in or out. They really need to start marking zones in every suburb in whom riders just leave their share bikes.
Try taking that photo about 5m to the left so you capture the huge ass mobile billboard for CARS blocking the already narrow foothpath. That is a much bigger issue than those lime bikes at this location.
Predictable social media whingeing.
Theyre bloody great and cheaper than public transport.
Go howl at the moon ya flogs.
