I’m in Sydney. Those are pretty minor use cases compared to the sheer nuisance of dockless bikes.

No helmets, no seats, bent wheels. Left in the middle of side walks. Left on other people’s property. In trees.

The people who typically use them are casual bikers too, so they use the side walk instead of the roads.

No idea about the below freezing stuff.

Yea I’ll admit I’m skeptical of dockless bikes as well. We have docks and since there’s basically always one within half a mile or (usually much) less, it works perfectly fine imo.

Maybe dockless would be nice on a beach with a boardwalk, but in a city? Where are they going to go? And I have a hard time imagining anywhere with a typical not NYC or main downtown area population density will keep them moving enough. I’m happy to be proven wrong though.
