Today I had an abusive message from Lime left in my letterbox. Threatening Police action unless I return their bikes??? What has that to do with me. I have never hired or dumped one. (though the latter was tempting)They have their bikes constantly left on the front verge of grass outside our property . A month or so ago I had a similar message. I complained to ;Lime that we had 7 bikes left out there & asked them to remove them as we needed to cut the lawn & also it was not the look outside we wanted. It took them a week but they eventually did so. Today after this latest message in my letter box I tried to ring their o8oo number which went to fax. So this is my warning to Lime. Look after your own bikes.i have nothing to do with your problems. And a further warning to Lime is that if this harassment continues I will be involving the police myself. Kevin Ashton.

Hi, there was a bike outside 6 Farnborough street. The bike is gone but there is a helmet hanging in the tree outside.

In reply to Unknown. Um, why? Is it in anyone's way? There are bikes located all around the city; if they're not being used somewhere then eventually Lime will relocate them to places where they do get use...

So 104 separate rides of 10 minutes costs you a total of $500, enough for a decent entry level conventional bike. Or 40 rides of half an hour, 21 rides of an hour.

Admittedly these are electric assist bikes which have a higher initial cost, and the convenience of having someone else charge it for you too.
