Personally I’d just legislate that these cycling/scooter schemes need to come with actual racks to put the bikes instead of just some painted box on the floor.

Check out what they do in Barcelona, they have a huge cycling scheme and never have this problem.

So in Barcelona they have a fantastic cycling service (bicing), there are racks that lock the bikes automatically, and all bikes have to be left in a rack. Using an app, you can see where all the bikes are and where all of the open bike rack spaces there are. Because they are locked up, people can’t just take them out and start riding them (ever heard a clicky lime bike? They’re easy to pinch).

The problem isn’t the lime bikes themselves, it’s the execution of the storage plan, leave them in this spot and send a photo of it parked clearly isn’t cutting it, just put some fucking racks in so they can be kept tidy.
