Love this. I've been banging on about this for a while. The reason Lime & forest riders skip lights is that the business model encourages it... see this great tool by Matt Taylor: tk.gg/posts/lime-b...
Lime's billing model is encouraging cyclists to run red lights
Per-minute billing on rental bikes may be the worst incentive for good behaviour.

Had to move 8 lime bikes this morning to lock my bike which were so tightly stacked by Lime staff that the sheffield stands were completely unusable. My personal NYs resolution is to move these into a nearby parking bay for Lime to save them money.

Finally left X for bluesky. It had become an angry divisive regressive place. I’m absolutely going to miss a bunch of accounts. But this is a way calmer happier place.

Having to adjust my riding style at the moment to ride closer than my usual 70cm from the kerb to stop lime bike riders from undertaking me. 😐

I woke up this morning and realised that we basically subsidise crime with insurance payments

I think the #tarrifs are ultimately a little gamble, because ultimately i think businesses know that the US consumer can afford the increase. Same as with inflation. The prices will jump consumers will pay and prices will not come back down

Britains attitude towards insulation is like a person outside shivering in a t-shirt and shorts refusing to put a jacket on but continually refilling a hot waterbottle to stay warm
