Wow that's dissapointing, such a shame. The most surprising example is in Reims, France where they provided 400 bikes in November 2017, only 20 fully functional bikes remained in January this year. The rest were either vandalised, broken or stolen.

Indeed... After, it's hard to make any deduction. Public bikes are widespreaded in France, have been there for a long time, and seems to work quite well (most of those are dockable though). It seems to me that this company got something very wrong in their business model if they face this issue in a lot of places.
