This is Grosvenor Crescent Hyde Park Corner. The Royal Parks London 1/2 Marathon was today hence the like bikes littered everywhere. It’s a big event with tens of thousands in one area but yes they could definitely be parked better.
As a parent, it’s such a pain encountering these on the pavement when you’re pushing a pram. Can’t even imagine how much of an inconvenience these must be for the blind and wheelchair users.
How is this even allowed to happen. It needs to be regulated
London is for lime bikes not people
It does my head in because I use Lime bikes all the time and they are an absolute godsend and at least for me regularly take a car off the streets. And not once have I parked it like a dickhead. I’ve left room nearby for others to get past and if it’s all full up go the fifty yards down the road to a place that does work.
Fundamentally if people weren’t acting like dickheads these would be brilliant for people rather than causing a problem.
But it’s London and it’s inevitable. So Lime themselves need better systems for officiating this. When I finish I take a photo of my geo-located bike and they have my credit card. So if I dump it so badly surely they need to be able to fine me or get rid of my account.
Write to your local councillor.
I wonder how hard these things are to disassemble, can’t imagine it’d be **that** hard to unscrew them. As a disabled person these types of bikes and scooters a borderline hazard that wouldn’t have ever been allowed on the street to begin with.
Been said plenty of times, Lime bikes are great but convert car parking bays into e-bike bays. if every street in London had one e-bike parking bay it could be transformational.

If they didn’t have those baskets they’d be easier to park! source: I live in Amsterdam 🙂
Lime bikes are a plague.
The company should be fined for having its property blocking pavements.
If only there were some way of freeing up space nearby. If only there were some [huge tract of underused space](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5017979,-0.1527959,3a,75y,181.15h,77.61t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sauFc1G1yMRay6RcQQfczfw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D12.392609647768722%26panoid%3DauFc1G1yMRay6RcQQfczfw%26yaw%3D181.15278664115965!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) just steps away, or maybe we could use the same system as these [“dockless vehicles”](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5017979,-0.1527959,3a,90y,318.22h,64t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sauFc1G1yMRay6RcQQfczfw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D25.998726833266005%26panoid%3DauFc1G1yMRay6RcQQfczfw%26yaw%3D318.2220191524936!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), that way we wouldn’t have to cram an obviously popular method of transport onto crowded pavements.
