Dockless Obstructions

Campaign raising awareness of dockless obstructions on London pavements #Accessible #SaferStreets

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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!

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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.

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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.

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

“Wild West” days of barely regulated e-scooter hire appear to be coming to an end - London can learn from Lanzarote… https://t.co/kKz9KQafGY

Lemonia – and Lime! Famous restaurant swamped by hire bikes: https://t.co/V83THlkO75

@AliciaHayes1884 @CamdenCouncil Big problem with them near Tottenham Court Road station - obstructing pavement and two pedestrian crossings at New Oxford Street.

We’ve been raising for years - sadly still a daily hazard.

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

New Oxford Street (Camden).

Usual suspects @limebike @forestbike_uk @voitechnology obstructing pavement and pedestrian crossings.

This isn’t a ‘mandatory’ 🅿️ bay, but dockless hire companies and local authority appear not to care - Happy Christmas!

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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"

@_LimeAID @DocklessObs @metpoliceuk @limebike @forestbike_uk Outside Lume Restaurant corner of Kings Henry’s and Primrose Hill Roads this morning. Blocking entrance. Bikes regularly dumped here. Am posting like this so that @CamdenCouncil @AnnaBurrage aware.

[Alicia Hayes @AliciaHayes1884]

@DocklessObs @metpoliceuk @limebike @forestbike_uk Sadly everywhere now. A menace particularly for pedestrians. Primrose Hill⬇️

[Chelsea. @GreenthGreen]

@limebike how is this okay?

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

Beginning to look like Summer 👀

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

Bus Stop opposite @metpoliceuk New Scotland Yard HQ on Victoria Embankment - totally inaccessible!

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

@forestbike_uk @CamdenCouncil Thank you.

Would be helpful and more sustainable (less vans) if you didn’t deploy them obstructing pavements in first place!

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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.

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

@forestbike_uk @CamdenCouncil Some of the bikes? Surely you mean MOST of the bikes!

8 deployed in accordance with parking rules in the official 🅿️ bay.

50+ deployed breaching parking rules on pavement.

Why are you deploying bikes for hire on the pavement?

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

Hello @IslingtonBC
How many cycle hire ebikes are permitted to be left ‘at’ a single public cycle 🅿️ rack?

[TOTTENHAM TILL I DIE @KingArtAT]

How are you supposed to walk 🚶 here??

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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!

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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.

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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

[Dockless Obstructions @DocklessObs]

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!

[LAGER Can @CanLager]

Lime Grove aka Trumpers Way W7 #Hanwell @limebike please collect ASAP. Third pic show bike recovered by 71-year old female member from canal. Also reported by email.

Welcome to Battersea ..!!! Dockless cycles are a plague upon the capital. When will @MayorofLondon and local councils take action…??? @forestbike_uk
