I like the concept of rideshare bikes and scooters, but in reality what we have are private companies taking up public footpaths with their vehicles. Council in my mums suburb wont even let homeowners park on their own naturestrip but will allow a shitload of purple escooters to take up space there.

In Brisbane they had Citycycle, or Shittycycle as it became known as. It was set up by the Brisbane city council. Brisbane has a river too...Shittycycle is no more. You still see them occasionally in backyards, the river, landfill, garage sales...

[@theothertonydutch]

This is what you get when Australia tries to imitate the Netherlands. It's pretty close. NGL. Every year they fish about 6000 bikes from canals in the netherlands. The major difference is that the majority of those bikes aren't ride share. I've been finding unlocked regular bikes in bushes or at garbage dump locations and fixing them up for a few years now. Stopped buying bicycles alltogether and giving them away for whoever wants one, if/when I have stock.

Just a test to see if it would make people ditch their cars. It failed miserably and it pissed the government off, so now they're going hardcore with higher road taxes, higher insurance premiums, EV greenwashing, higher petrol prices, lower speed limits and 15 minute cities. But I'm just a conspiracy theorist...

[@jxp]

There was a company called Mobike here in Newcastle Upon Tyne. They were about for 9 months before they pulled out, this was 6 or 7 years ago now, no joke I saw one getting pulled out the river about 6 months ago, they just got yeeted off the bridges. Found one with its stickers taken off in a town 10 miles outside the city left by the beach 2 years back too. This shit was never gonna work in either the UK or Australia man hahahaha

[@projectbrs4860]

That was the most accurate summary of singapore I've ever heard

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

This is similar to the bikes they had in Brisbane. The CBD in Brisbane has a lot of hills, so the pikes would end up at the stations at the bottom of hills, as no one could be arsed riding them back uphill. The company ended up having to pay people to go collect them and take them back to the uphill spots. These were just normal pedal bikes - not electric. Eventually they went broke and Brisbane City Council (their major partner) ended up giving the bikes away. My missus got one. Having learned a lot from this debacle, there are now ebike and escooter rentals all over the place.....
