The dockless cycle hire revolution has taken over London’s streets - literally. Lime & Forest bikes litter pavements across the capital causing hazards for pedestrians - especially for older, blind, partially sighted and disabled people. Pavements are for people, NOT parking!

Hey @forestbike_uk please remove all the bikes you’ve deployed across the pavement on Eversholt Street Euston - parking in 🅿️ bays is MANDATORY in Camden. This is what happens when dockless hire companies manage ‘parking’ themselves.

Geofencing, docking stations, and parking management by hire companies themselves DOES NOT WORK! Fuerteventura have e-scooter dock stations, but pavements are still being obstructed by abandoned escooters.

Geofenced dockless cycle hire parking bays don’t work - contract agreements with hire companies or not.

"I think there is a war on cars. There should be a better way to enable bike parking than taking away a valuable car parking space" Furious locals call Lime and Forest e-bike bays, which replaced car parking spaces, "a blight on the streets" road.cc/content/news/cycling…

Euston we have a problem (again). Forest @forestbike_uk have deployed rows and rows of bikes for hire across pavements in breach of @CamdenCouncil contract. Lime @limebike usual ‘overspill’ from dockless hire 🅿️ bay sprawling across pavements.

Euston dockless cycle hire 🅿️ bay needs to be relocated off pavement and extended - current parking space for only 8 e-bikes. Aprox 100 bikes are obstructing pavement - not enough room in Lime van to remove them all in one go!

Highly dangerous location for dockless hire e-bike parking - pavement between several pedestrian crossings at busy road junction. Pentonville Road jnt Kings Cross Road @IslingtonBC
Wheelchair user in cycle lane navigating past Lime bike obstructing pavement - Lime bikes on crossings at Pentonville Road during ‘safety improvement works’. Utterly dangerous @IslingtonBC - the @limebike ‘parking zone’ at jnt Pentonville Rd & Kings Cross Rd needs removing ASAP!

Lime bikes dangerously obstructing pedestrian crossing - pavement impassable (again). This is not a ‘parking area’ @IslingtonBC it’s a pavement of a pedestrian crossing at a major road junction.

Almost a week now and no action seems to have been taken. This - right by aping cash machine - is not a wide enough pavement to leave your bikes. The bike racks at Wimbledon Station - less than a min away - have no Lime Bikes in them
