That's clearly not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the ability to leave them parked on any road. You're once again conflating that with bad actors.
When you get off of a Lime Bike the app requires you to take a picture of how you parked it. The ability to find bikes local to people even where there are no docks/bays increases public health and transport links.
If bikes are found flat on the pavement or blocking the pavement, that's a public disorder problem, not a Lime Bike problem and should be tackled as such.
