This particular bike share doesn't have designated docking locations. Each bike is equipped with GPS so they can be located and collected overnight. So far it seems to be working; a bike was parked outside my building one evening, and it was gone the next morning.

Duplicate issue.

Sharlene: I live in Malden. They are everywhere here. And it is NOT working. Limebike is doing next to nothing to educate its users about the rights of the disabled and the necessity to leave adequate clearance for wheelchairs, walkers, etc. and to not create hazards for visually impaired residents like my 12 year old son (who is starting to learn to navigate with a cane). The fact that the a bike was gone by morning does not mean the program was working. What it means is that an obstacle was left on the sidewalk for a considerable time before it was relocated, during which someone's rights guaranteed by LAW (under the ADA and related statutes, regulations, and ordinances) may have been violated. These violations of the rights of the disabled are an inevitable by-product given the number of bikes being left in places they should not and the fact that it typically takes Limebike anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days to respond (you can track the slowness of their response easily on the Malden See, Click, Fix which has a category just for Limebike because of how much of a problem it's become here). Limebike has been thrown out of numerous communities all over the world because of their corporate irresponsibility. And ADA suits are being contemplated in many places, including locally.

thanks you Ghazi for your input hopefully now they understand why even a couple hours doesn't justify the excuse

I wish you were right. But it seems very much like a losing battle here in Malden. The company just won't do anything meaningful to educate its users or to deter their behavior. It is really becoming a divisive issue here, which is unfortunate.

On carter st in front of the new crossfit place one of those bikes has been there for a while now it is tipped over and just laying there. I thought they had trackers on them because it is blocking the sidewalk, well part of it enough if someone in a wheelchair couldn't get by.

Malden at least has come up with a system to report to Limebike directly through this site. Chelsea probably needs to do the same. But even with that, Limebike is slow to respond: anywhere from two hours to two days. The problem is that they have no incentive whatsoever to get their users to change their behavior. Communities should be fining the company every time a bike is parked improperly. But instead they are allowing the comany to just pass on the cost to our most vulnerable citizens. It's blatantly unfair. And it's illegal.
