Operator Lime said users are required to take an 'end-trip photo' of how they park
Angry pedestrians have criticised Nottingham's new electric bikes which some have described as 'littering streets' as bad riders are threatened with fines and bans. .
"It's the same behaviour with the bikes as there is with the scooters. Bikes will ride on the pavement as well, pavements are being squeezed and squeezed - where is the space for the pedestrians?"God help you if you were on a mobility scooter or blind trying to navigate past that. The fact there are no racks mean they are littering the streets like dead bodies"
"I do not mind the idea of the bikes as long as people are responsible with them. But I don't think the way people treat them will change." The consensus that inconsiderate parking would impact more vulnerable pavement users was echoed by Sarah Gayton, the street access campaigns co-ordinator for The National Federation of the Blind of the UK. "This will create the same problems as the e-scooters. Even if you put them back in a safe location, it doesn't stop other people from knocking them over," she said.
Riders can use the Lime app to collect e-bikes at one of about 100 designated parking bays around the city. The company said it recognised the importance of keeping pavements accessible for all users.
