Not-so-stable genius bike scheme

A lot's been written about all those share bikes that are lying around Sydney's streets these days. It's not all been positive.

So what do we know about share bikes?

Seems they're a bit lazy, and love riding downhill, but can't handle the thought of taking themselves back up the hills. Hence the big stockpiles near the beaches, where nobody wants their services for the return journey.


They're not only lazy. They're clearly rather unstable too, many having seemingly committed bike suicide, throwing themselves off bridges and the like.




This share bike thing seemed like a genius idea at first. But I suspect we won't be seeing them around for too much longer.
