'Dockless' bikes have recently made a large appearance in London, too. They're suddenly everywhere, little orange ones. I'm not sure if it's the same company but it's the exactly the same principle. I'm quite surprised there are any left when seemingly the bike can be freed with a small bolt cutter.
- Freak_NL 9y agoFrom what I've read about the type of bicycles used by these companies in the Netherlands, the bicycles themselves are pretty awful for any serious use beyond moving tourists a mile or so across a flat surface without any wind or rain. Also, if you bought a stolen one from a fence, you would be riding a branded bicycle (probably adorned with your own lock instead of the original 'smart' one) and look like a right git. They just don't appear to be very attractive to thieves.
