It's not so much the idea. It's the utter hash Hounslow make of things.The Lime Bike and the total blind eye turned to abuse and misuse and the complete ignorance of road safety and adherence to simple basic cycling etiquette.It should have started from the off with clear and strict rules and enforcement.Once that's bedded in and embedded in users there should not be a problem.But this band of arrogant numpties cannot even deal with stolen bikes, Under age use and dangerous use and placement.Blinded by their own agendas. Simple common sense has been abandoned and another good idea ends up a total farce.They never factor in anti social use and abuse.And just like a few disruptive kids in a classroom unless dealt with it infects the entire class

It's a pity Hounslow don't take a leaf out of Hammersmith's book.They impound these bikes and lime have to pay to get them back or they are scrapped, but of course in Hounslow the anti car Borough we are paying to clear up their mess

Nor do Lime respond to damage inflicted by misuse.By the way if you hear one making a clicking noise when being ridden it is stolen by hacking and interfering with the machine.Very common locally.And what is done?  Nothing.
