This looks like a rental bike. Good luck with the deposit.
Ffs!! They only installed those!!
This is happening everywhere. Either they have poor security to tie them to the docking stations or don’t require a credit card as teenagers are taking them in every town and breaking them
[removed]
Same thing between balbriggan and skerries. Besides them getting just left anywhere, the seats are already going missing or some father puts his son on one the other day and the little fella couldn’t handle the bike and it smashed into the ground.
Meanwhile in Lisbon to Budapest you can rent scooters/bikes and they are dropped in the correct locations.
Since they installed the Bolt Bikes in Sligo I’ve been finding them in random places that I thought were very irresponsible to leave them. I tried to move one but the wheels were locked. Apparently once you run out of money in your account the bikes lock up so you’re out of luck.
Return it to the company that owns it OP.
PS: F@ck scrotes
What company does that one belong to? Haven’t seen them before. Is this in Dublin?
We can have nice things though, Moby, Dublin Bikes, Bleeper, and others are all running successfully.
I remember before Dublin Bikes was launched everyone was going on about how they’d all end up vandalised and in the canals, it never happened. We really are a fucking negative bunch.
Some will always end up mistreated and wrecked, but that happens everywhere, I’ve seen many lying around in bits here in London, and the ones in Paris with docking stations I found to be beat up yokes, hard to find one in the stalls that actually functioned properly.
We’re doing it well in Dublin.
Vandalism obviously isn’t great but I’m not a fan of these app rental bikes that can be left anywhere
I’m just back from Bristol. Vio do their scooters there. Best thing I’ve ever used! Especially for those pesky hills up from the town centre! There’s designated parking spots and if you’re not in one the scooter won’t end the trip and you’ll be charged. Only time you can leave it anywhere is when the battery dies, then they come and collect them at night and charge them up. They are so handy for the quick 5-10 min spins that would take 20 mins to walk.
We need them in Dublin and other cities, you have to upload your drivers license to use these ones which will cut down on the scrotes and idiots using them (a little bit) and the cops actually stop people abusing the rules or driving unsafely
Christ off a bike
How do other countries deal with scrotes?
I blame the organisers at electric picnic! Shocking carry on
People have no respect :/
In Singapore, you leave deposit, and when you park, you have to take a picture of the bike, and scan a QR code at the parking space (which there are plenty), and that’s how you don’t get a fine on your deposit.
Knowing Singapore, you might get a whack from a cane if you fuck up the system.
In China you can see those bikes EVERYWHERE. When OFO 小黄车 went out of business, the bikes were dilapidated or people just cut the locks and made them into their own bikes. Very funny.
