Raising awareness of shared dockless e-bike obstructions on Twitter is one thing, but asking your MP to take action, to get this market regulated, is something we need more people involved in. If this fits with what you want please write to your MP. Suggested email attached. 👍
Suggested text of letter to MP regarding dockless e-bike obstructions. Text content will follow in subsequent Tweets on this thread.

The correct design for these requires significantly more space. Flawed infrastructure, leading to predictable harm to vulnerable pedestrians. #PoorDesign

If you think this should all stop and everyone should be able to access their bus directly to and from the kerb then write to your MP.

Lime bike parking in Wimbledon Park over tennis fortnight. Needed marshalling, but good capacity. Sadly, even with considerable allocated space, Lime tech not up to job of ensuring users did not park elsewhere in park, obstructing pavements. Selfish behaviour, enabled by Lime.
At least 50 Lime bikes parked in a pen, in Wimbledon Park, over the tennis fortnight.

I'm continuing to struggle with everything, but felt it was right thing to get back on here for a little, and raise some of the dockless bike obstructions I was seeing in my local area, especially during and after Wimbledon Tennis. Taking another break. Wishing all of you well.

Alt text: Photo of a pedestrianised pavement in the City of London. Three quarters of the pavement is obstructed by dockless cycle hire bikes parked two abreast either side the full length - leaving a small gap in the middle for pedestrians.

A selection of Lime bike obstructions from my part of Wandsworth over the last week. Blocked access to a pedestrian crossing at a busy road, a couple of blocked pavements near dropped kerbs, and a largely obstructed pavement. #LimeBike #PavementsAreForPeople

Lime bike obstructing the majority of a pavement. There would not be enough space for a wheel chair to comfortably get past.

From last Friday in Wandsworth. A cluster of 5 Lime bikes barricades a significant amount of pavement, beyond the pedestrian crossing and tactile pavement that blind and visually impaired pedestrians will use. #LimeBike

You know the old joke. Q: Why did the Forest bike cross the road? A: It didn't. It just sat there and obstructed the approach to the crossing for others. Including the chicken, who was very much not amused. 🐔🤨

The #DWP must focus on work not welfare, Liz Kendall tells us. Prioritizing work over welfare neglects those who most need our help. These are folk who have often been most let down often by society. Must we repeat the neglect of their needs?

The old lady with her shopping trolley seemed to prefer the flat pavement to the rough. Seemed stressed navigating around the Lime bike. Typical displacement of the Lime bike when parked at or near cycle racks. #LimeBike

From last week in Wandsworth. Yup, that's how the guy in the high viz vest parked the Lime bike before he wandered off. Not Lime staff, and someone shifted it later, but pretty blatantly obstructive and uncaring. #LimeBike
A Lime bike parked almost completely in the centre of a pavement as the user wanders off.

From last Wednesday. A Forest bike parked outside a café in Wandsworth, obstructing pedestrian crossings for all and with front and back wheel on elements of tactile pavement used by blind and visually impaired. #DocklessBikes #PavementsAreForPeople

Could this be an ad for the next dockless bike parking solution? We might see some improvements on the current model. #DocklessBikes

When you're highly invested in the business, I guess the smile is all the brighter. Sadly the parking is less often Uber and more often a whole lot of Goofy Goober. #LimeBike

My London office commute for £7.33. Just a wonderful (and efficient!) way to move in a beautiful city with @limebike @Uber.

Frequent Lime bike parking against the wall of this private residence and the obvious stress this is causing to the local resident in question is simply unacceptable. #LimeBike
