Apparently Ofo is bailing out of the U.S. market

"China Bike-Sharing Giant Ofo to Shut Most U.S. Operations
Updated July 18, 2018 9:04 p.m. ET
Less than a year after China’s Ofo Inc. entered the U.S. with big ambitions, the world’s largest bike-share company plans to shut down most of its U.S. operations, people familiar with the matter said.
Beijing-based Ofo told U.S. employees Wednesday that it is cutting the vast majority of its workforce in the U.S. and retreating to a handful of larger cities, these people said. Ofo told staff it is still determining which cities it will continue operating in, the people said. It has more than 40,000 bicycles in more than 30 U.S. markets."
Thanks for the link. Couldn't access the whole article but after googling around.. It appears Ofo is leaving or has left the Phoenix area. Didn't see many yellow bikes last weekend but there were plenty the weekend previous.
