Lime bikes and scooters (and their ilk) are not popular with some people. I’ve heard people talk about tossing them in the river in Portland because they’re cluttering up the sidewalks.
I feel the same way, but I’m not a vandal. We see those things parked randomly all over the place, including right in my own neighborhood. It doesn’t help that they’re ugly, so it comes off as a form of littering.
The local Lime office is about 1/2 mile away from my workplace. I’m tempted to stick my head in the door and tell them how much I don’t love them and then leave.
It’s homeless jerks, I’ve seen it happen here in Portland. Was out on my boat and saw one thrown into the river and the bum run off. Seems stupid to me, he could have buzzed around all day on it for free.
When I see people zipping down the street on those scooters I always wonder if they know what would happen if that small front wheel hit a pothole. They would be pranged to the Moon.
