LimeBikes in the UK yet?

Post by PJ520 »

LimeBikes have been introduced into Seattle and seem to have caught on, I see them everywhere. The big plus being you don't have to return them to a docking station. They are not the only ones here there's also an outfit called Spin that has orange coloured bikes.
It seems they would be easier to use than Boris bikes and perhaps harder to steal. Any comments?

They would probably go the way of Mobikes in Manchester.
