Anyone else getting sick n tired of these stupid things just left everywhere, on footpaths, across driveways, left in between parked cars, blocking fire exits, dumped on the side of the roads, malls, laneways etc..

I really loathe these things, the way they have been miss/managed, just shoved in your face, dumped on peoples lawns, parks and gardens, and they just let anyone dump them anywhere, is a right pain in the as s imo. There should be designated park up zones where if you don't park the bike there it doesn't stop charging you. 

Either that or piss em off all together. They weight a ton, no way an elderly person can move one, they are ridiculously heavy.

Lol yes, I reckon in 10 years from now they'll be a funny part of our era. So bizarre. Who came up with the genius idea of being able to dump them anywhere? Very kooky Scandinavian kind of idea. Might work in some places around the world (?), but not in Australia. We're a use-and-throw out culture.

I would have np objection to their use if they could only be left in designated areas but absolutely that the situation now is crazy

Why don't people dump hire cars wherever they feel like it, instead of dutifully returning them to the depot with a full tank of petrol? Because it will cost them.Geek
Manners are of more importance than laws
