Increase in Lime Bikes on LL

Watching scrutiny sessions is the best way of determining what might happen. Southwark do have concerns about Lime and these have been articulated in meetings, but Lime are holding out one big fat carrot, which is funding infrastructure for hybrid use. It's going to be hard for the cash-strapped council -allegedly, except when it's Vanity Square and its Indian import paving- to turn that offer down.

Cash strapped? Or is it complete mismanagement and money waste

Totally shocked by the number of Lime bikes at Sainsburys this afternoon (match Day).

The bikes were completely blocking the footpath from the bus stop to the shop - wish the users were not so inconsiderate.  Whilst waiting for my bus had to help one elderly lady get round with her shopping trolly bag.

It is completely out of control  - the bike companies dump bikes anywhere they want. Nothing stopping people dumping them anywhere they want also.

Lime is owned by American company - why on earth American billionaires are allowed to hijack whatever little public space is left in London?

Picture attached is next to Old Vic.
