They'll be good after brexit, you'll be able to smuggle things in the inner tubes. You like smuggling don't you?

At the very worst , if you cant ride em , you can weigh em in for scrap .

Good riddance to those bikes. See shoplifters and people on drugs riding around town centre on the yellow bikes on a daily basis. Just dumped all around the city making the place look a mess

Deep down this makes Sheffield look like a disgrace. This should of been a brilliant service and it’s been ruined due to the scrubbers.

It maybe that the problem is they did not take into account properly that Sheffield is very hilly.

 

 

The bikes were used a lot. Despite the hills.

 

Something like 50,000 journeys, made by 10,000 people.

 

The high usage demonstrated the disgraceful lack of safe cycle routes - if you wanted to use an ofo to get from a to b, you quickly found that you either had to deal with aggressive/ignorant drivers, or ride on the pavement. I can't blame anyone (the majority?) for choosing the latter.

 

I can understand why ofo would choose to take their bikes to London, where Safe cycle routes are being created. It makes total sense for them to consolidate their business in a city with a transport plan that's been updated since 1963.

Feel the same really embarrassing for us even though the company will not admit its down to the vandalism we all know it probably is(I doubt in their interests to publicly say this is the reason).

This is probably true, but it pains me whenever I see a cyclist on the pavement. A lot of the time it's really not necessary, if someone can't cycle safely on a relatively quiet road then they probably shouldn't be riding a bike anywhere near pedestrians.
