I think you're confusing the cause for the vandalism, it is much more "casual", the bikes are vandalised because they are there and the companies stupidly provided fragile bikes. Also the opposition from the city council did not help.

- bfuller 9y agoI'm not confusing anything. I can point you to many social media posts urging people to vandalize them because they are annoyed at the bike share. The bikes being absolutely littered everywhere does create a lot of opportunistic vandals, but there FOR SURE is a concerted effort to fuck over the companies.
- baud147258 9y agoI did not see any of these, but maybe it's because of my near-zero use of social media. So I'll take your word for it, that some of the bike degradations were caused to fuck the companies.
