A plague is a good way of describing them. There is no concern whatsoever about where the bikes are left. They are often right in the middle of the sidewalk in front of where ever they were ridden to. I have been bitten by the lack of a Capitol Bike share dock more then once, so I understand the benefit, but there needs to be rules like put your things away when you are done using them.
- PantaloonFlames 9y agoIt's a chicken and egg problem. There's no place to park because cities have been built around driving, and then walking. But not biking. In the Netherlands, there are bike racks, bike parking lots.... plenty of space to put them, and a solid social understanding that you cannot leave your bike in the walkway. Give it time.
