- A Green Initiative gone completely wrong...!!!
So what more proof do you require to consider it is not working? A pile of rented dockless bicycles at the top of your street or outside your front door perhaps?
I understand that as: it is not blocking your pavements or outside your door so the problem of the scheme not working properly appear to you as "side effects" and "do not appear sufficiently serious". Typical Green lobby attitudes.pabenny wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:18 am
Likewise with city bike rental schemes. If usage is anything to go by, they work but there are unwelcome side effects, such as thoughtless parking by some users. However, these side effects do not appear sufficiently serious to lead to prohibition of bike rental schemes.
You are indeed being very speculative and very wrong as usual...pabenny wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 10:29 amThere you go again, twisting other people's words. Again.
As for your charge of ‘if it doesn’t affect me personally, it doesn’t matter’ – that could be said of your entire approach to green matters:
- You and yours are not made ill by air pollution in London* so you oppose the ULEZ;
- You won’t be alive* to see the predicted serious consequences of climate change, so you oppose almost any green regulation.
(* clearly, I know very little of your personal circumstances so these are somewhat speculative)
In what way has this initiative "gone completely wrong" and failed to meet its "green" purpose?Boro Boy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 3:18 pmMmmm, this appears to be a green initiative and it appears not to be working but the comrades are not allowed to agree with that or their whole ethos of green can't possibly be wrong collapses...
It sounds like you should return to the initial post and attachment. This is happening on the doorstep on my central London home yet complaints fall on deaf ears as for most of any working day these dockless rent as you go bicycles pile up. These schemes are flawed but still they remain. It is not the fault (in the main) of "...thoughtless renters" as some claim on here, as dockless zones exist but they cannot cope with the amount of bicycles and there is not enough space for more; however I am shortly expecting the next Green Initiative which will be to move all the people out of Central London to make way for dockless bicycle parks and with the answer (if its questioned) that this is...

I can see that there have been some unexpected and unacceptable consequences in other areas, but that's not what's upsetting you, so don't bother commenting on that.
No one has disputed that careless disposal of rental bikes is a problem as per the story linked in the OP
This is the first time you have mentioned that you are personally affected by poor parking of rental bikes. I acknowledge that. I would be annoyed if it happened on my doorstep.
