Clear our pavements of dumped electric bikes
Start fining electric bike companies each time their customers dump bikes on the pavement in everyone's way. Or come up with another solution to clear our pavements of abandoned electric bicycles.
Why is this important?
London's pavements are now awash with dumped electric bicycles. They make pavements annoying for pedestrians, they make them impossible to navigate for anyone in a wheelchair or with a pram.
Walk down any major London street and you'll now find yourself running a gauntlet of e-bike obstacles (Lime, Human Forest, etc etc etc), it's getting out of hand.
The electric bike companies' business models seem to rely on this chaos they create "disrupting the market". So we're signing this petition to push our Mayor to do something about it. If money is the only motivator for these companies then start fining them each time a bike is dumped in an inappropriate place. Perhaps there could even be a cash bounty for people if they spot a dumped bike blocking a pavement?
