What's wrong with bikes parked in the street (assuming they're using on-street parking)? They certainly take up less room than a car parked in the same space.

What's wrong with bikes parked in the street (assuming they're using on-street parking)? They certainly take up less room than a car parked in the same space.
Edited for clarity.
- mbrameld 9y agoWell, ideally nothing is parked in the street. Otherwise its usefulness as a street is severely diminished.
- dkhenry 9y agoit not so much the street as it is the middle of the sidewalk.
- jdavis703 9y agoWell the city should fine people who do this. Don't the bike share companies know who the last person was to park a bike?
- trothamel 9y agoWouldn't the problem be that the bikes could be moved by people who want to get the last person in trouble?
- usrusr 9y agoPersonal bikes tend to get locked to fixed objects. Anything that motivates users of dockless shared bikes to treat them more similar to personal bikes will be an improvement, in many ways. The bigger question is how to generally proceed with making users responsible for anything, without driving them away?
- st3v3ndungan 9y agoThis, I highly doubt that the person who last used the bike (and derived the benefit) is the one who chucked it into the river.
- s73ver_ 9y agoThe bike company is ultimately the one responsible for the bike.
- grepthisab 9y agoIn my experience, in a crosswalk literally in the street. Although having a dock less bike take up car parking spots I’m trying to use would be infuriating.
- PantaloonFlames 9y agoWhat may be infuriating for you, could be delightful for 25 bike riders.
- nugi 9y agoExcept in most cases its a car full of frusturated people, and one inconsiderate cyclist. Its a problem on both sides. Being smug helps noone.
