Something my partner wrote on the dockless bike phenomenon. Here in the Netherlands they are mostly viewed with distain, as an unnecessary and invasive species of transport that literally no one was asking for.
This was a problem even before the dockless bikes. I was in Beijing seven years ago and the bike racks outside of subway stations were always *packed* with bikes that had been left behind for whatever reason. People would occasionally round them up and take them to a bike graveyard. Sometimes people would acquire new-to-them bikes by going there and insisting that one of the bikes rounded up had belonged to them. Looks like dockless bikes have just compounded the problem.
Anyone know how to say 失衡生活 in Hopi?

Citi Bike, in NYCity, seems to be doing well.
