This is the fact of dockless bike shares. It is large companies who don't care about anything dumping trash onto our streets expecting us to clean it up for them. Melt them down into cannonballs and fire them at OFO, LimeBike Mobike and all the other dockless bikeshare headquarters.

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you!
LimeBikes are littering the streets of Alameda, turning previously decent folks into bonifide bike haters. The butt ugly lime colored pieces of cycling trash are nothing more than an eye sore, and are laying around the community like so many empty Starbucks cups.
Dock less bike sharing should be illegal.

Imagine how you'd feel if you came home from work one day and saw three bikes lying on your lawn. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be feeling too warm and fuzzy towards bikes or cyclists in general.
As so many other things in life, it only takes a few bad actors to ruin it for the bunch. Unfortunately, WE are part of that bunch when it comes to bike sharing -- whether we agree to it or not. Docked sharing (station-to-station) is FAR more responsible and I support that type of sharing. Dockless can die.

I am not really hippy dippy and peace and love sort of thing. I mean yes we should all get along but if they're an azzhole, they can always go fornicate with themselves.
I do like the song Why Can't We Be Friends by WAR but I also am allowed to have deep visceral hatred in my heart for certain people and ideals

Here's a timely article. Seems BART is not so happy with the situation either.

I am not sure about other countries or even other states, but at least in Texas this will never work. 1) These companies flood the area with way too many bikes, and 2) people in the area are just too big of jerks to actually handle it responsibly. Go look at our grocery cart return rate if you want more evidence.
I have no idea how much these bikes are worth in scrap, but if it's anything, I am not sure what's stopping someone from just loading up by the truckloads. In Dallas, they are everywhere and no one would bat an eye if they saw someone hauling them off in trucks. They would probably thank them.

Sounds like a great idea. Now just reduce pollution.

I am not part of the problem. All of my bikes are either spayed or neutered. I don't allow them to breed willy-nilly...
