Ummm… Isn’t the scooter season finished by then?

You might eke out another month or so, depending when the snow starts.

On Thursday I saw a guy on Ste-Catherine O. at Mackay riding a Lime while wearing a helmet. This is only notable because it’s the only time I’ve ever seen someone on a Lime wearing a helmet.

(Side note) Here’s a crime that surely happens a lot: some guy is walking home from a night at the pub and he’s at an intersection where some dork on a Lime pulls up and stops. Drunk pub guys shoves the guy off the Lime and takes off on it, giving himself a free ride home.
How can that not be happening on a daily basis?

I have not used the app, but I’m pretty sure there is a mechanism to report a lost or stolen bike, same way as if one breaks on you.
I guess its a risk, but seems a pretty low stakes one, all told.

According to the CBC, the city is going to start issuing tickets for parking in the wrong spot now. $50 to the rider if caught in the act or $100 to the company if not.

Blork, we don’t hear anything about people getting pushed off their bicycles, which are then stolen. Why expect the same about scooters?

Kate, knocking someone off a bike is much harder because the rider is straddling the frame of the bike. It would be a big mess with arms and legs all over, and even when the bike is knocked over the rider might still be tangled up in it. But a Lime? One shove and the Lime is yours!
