Yes. It's abuse because Uber presumably have a lot of bikes they would like to inject into the system. Every bike displaces one available parking spot.
Suppose there's a small town with one bike lot at the library. Everyone keeps their bike at home except to go to the library. Does the use of those bike spots affect the public? Yes.
Would it be okay if Enterprise Car Rental used public spaces to hold their inventory? No. That's not how rental companies work.
Perhaps there is no law, but I expect that to last about ten seconds after Uber pulls this stunt.
- darkstar999 9y agoYou're arguing an invalid point. As a cyclist, I never have a problem finding a place to park.
- mmirate 9y agoThat differs from city to city, sometimes even smaller than that. Personally, one of the reasons I don't bother to use my bike very much is that the bike racks near my undergraduate institution's lecture buildings - but not their counterparts anywhere else in this city - are almost constantly packed to the brim. (And then there's the hills...)

Originally they had designated spaces, but after a year or so they switched to allowing you to park in any public parking space (and some private) within the city center.
