I actually have no idea what the hell this chud sees in this picture
bicycles,, buildings,, a railing...
OH THEY SEE SOME CAR PARKING OVER THERE AND THEY'RE UPSET AT THAT!!!
I spent 20 minutes digging thru British antivax twitter to find it.
Someone pointed out the proximity of electronics to seawater. Another noticed the small basket of the bike. That's all.
The government is going to take your car away and replace it with public bikes, because that's all the transport you need in a 15 minute
citygulag.Da jewz want you to use a bycicle instead of your freedom-giving Dodge RAM Raptor F6500 T34
only thing i can come up with is "they're taking our cars away!!!" bc bikes are woke or something
You take the subway or bus near your destination, then pull out a city bike for the last mile.
Really. That's the whole idea. These are to eliminate the need for cars, and parking lots, and pollution, and urban sprawl, and all of that shit. I've seen it work in Shanghai. It works great.
But it doesn't fucking work if the population are wreckers who are determined to keep their cars no matter what because of MUH FREEDUMBS
if you unfocus your eyes the bike frames kind of resemble a series of Stars of David, sort of?
Idk what I'm supposed to see, but all of the scooter / bike app startups that drop trash everywhere are the worst. One of those scooters literally washed up on the shore of the river near my apartment after the spring floods this year.
Idk what I’m supposed to see
Every "wait until you see it" post since funnyjunk
Free scooter :edgeworth-shrug:
Probably need to redo all the electronics, but on the plus side all the tracking stuff would have been fried too
I'm just surprised that people are trying to bring bike-shares back. That didn't seem to be a good business model even when you had 0IR funny money to throw around.
Pulling data from my ass I would say it would be smarter for cities to instead of this, just have a "bike parking" where some retired folk watches over the personal bikes not getting stolen
Toronto and Montreal have had em for years, funded by the city/ parking authority, and they rip. Stations everywhere, cheap as, don't have to worry about anyone nicking them. Biggest problem is finding an available bike since a lot of commuters ride one way and they have to rearrange overflows by hand, and delivery guys hogging the fancy new e-bikes all day. But both systems are undergoing/ have undergone huge expansions, and have been widely considered a Good Thing
Drop bikes and scooter rentals are an absolute scourge, though
What exactly is stopping some anti-social boomer or teenager from chucking them all into the water?
I reject the premise and instead ask why would someone throw them in the water? The answer to that question is something that needs to be socially addressed, the bikes don't need to justify themselves.
"The public can't have nice things because the plebs will just mindlessly destroy them." - boomer brainworms
Adding to that, the numbers look much worse when you have a society with no expectation of trust, then you add one thing that requires trust. Everyone who was going to wake up that day and decide to senselessly destroy public property is going to destroy that one thing you've installed.
You can only do so much damage before you get caught and punished. Why don't people do this to library books?
They're locked into the chargers and can't be released without a mobile app.
Nothing, my college town had these and that's exactly what happened to them.
These things are usually pretty fucking heavy in my experience. That would be an ok deterrent.
If this was in America, these will be vandalized in about 0.5 seconds
And this is why we can't have nice things
Sad to say that when the whole bike share scheme started being trialed in various cities this was a problem. Like, people would pop open the locks and toss the bikes into nearby rivers and shit. Seems to have calmed down now though
