We have lime bikes and scooters in my town. Some of the bikes wound up in the river. Not sure about the scooters. Not a fan. People put them where ever. Not docking them is good for the user. Not for the public. I could imagine being in a wheelchair on a side walk, and having problems because someone just throws a bike down in the middle of a side walk. Buy not owning the bike it encourages the mis-treatment of them.
