Bike share scheme in the city has become a nightmare

Sydney City Council proudly tells us that bike share schemes have a key role to play in our future transportation, healthier lifestyle choice and the decarbonization of Sydney – around 4700 trips are taken daily on share bikes in the City of Sydney area, saving around 1326 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. Really – in short, they’ve turned the inner city into an untidy environment – spread across pathways in large groups, making pedestrian movement dangerous. Pitt Street is a case in point, bikes scattered usually on their side I suspect from unhappy pedestrians, many without helmets. Council tell us they don’t manage bike sharing and you should report bikes damaged and parked in a dangerous place directly with operators. It’s a cop out, it seems nobody is monitoring bike parking and the Council needs to do more to police their use. I’m David Berthon
