  We had same thing in Greece but with scooters. People used to steal them and throw them in the sea. Crazy.

  Bikes like that promote some of the worst aspects of bicycle culture - inexperienced riders doing high speed with zero regard for where they park once the ride is over. Obviously the bikes shouldn’t be tossed in the water, the entire business model should be tossed out.

  Lets also address the pollution caused by road runoff.

    And all the untreated waste that gets dumped into the rivers as well.

  Install 360° cameras, film those assholes and make them pay for retrieval.

    Sounds nice until you think about the implications for everyone that doesn’t vandalize or destroy these bikes. I’m most certainly not going to rent one if it has 360° surveillance capabilities.

      The recording nedds to be saved only when the accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.

    So constant 360° surveillance?

      You only need to save the recording when the bike’s accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.

    …or have decent security on them that can’t be broken by a 12yo.
