Britain = shit Britshit Brexit
Thank u.
it’s like one of those 11+ paper questions
The london cycles have to be docked at the end of a ride for it to stop charging you.
You could lock it up somewhere else if you wanted, but it would be costing you money.

I like Britain.
actually it’s just a good point.
What is the point? I mean, what if Manchester City Council had paid for the bikes instead of “Chinese investors”? Is it because it’s foreign, private money that it’s OK for people to disrespect and ruin a useful, inexpensive public service?
OK let’s just demonise poor people for having bad morals instead then.
I prefer London Hire Bike. It says what it is.

Does it suggest anywhere that it’s poor people who were nicking or vandalising the bikes?
actually yes
“My Mobiking nemesis just couldn’t understand why I would object to his behaviour, just as the young degenerates I have seen pulling wheelies on hacked Mobikes in my local park can’t understand that they are spoiling things not just for everyone else but themselves, too.”
Where does it say anything about poverty there? Moral poverty, maybe, in the word “degenerates”.
think it’s implied throughout the article
Chinese investors or otherwise, that’s no reason for people to just constantly be cunts and ruin potentially nice things. More bikes in cities = fewer cars = happier world. People are provided with a good bike service, people throw bikes into canals.
People are the worst.
anyway I just don’t like the whole sarcastic hashtag hot take thing, seems rude which is why I waded in.
Sorry about that!
They have these in Milton Keynes now seemed to be going quite well but they need more stations ideally.
also really sick and tired of people washing their hands of Britain and othering it as if we’re all so much better and above that.
Guess what British people/people who live in Britain, you are all contributing to this place good or bad.
Agree.
