donotremove Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Also concerned about the safety aspect as you riding without an helmet which isn't a good idea, and also who's to blame if you have an accident and injure your self or so,embody else due to some kind of fault on the bike from mis use from the previous rider. Nobody is forcing you to ride without a helmet. It is up to you to be responsible for your own safety. Similarly, it is up to you to inspect the bike before hand in order to make an informed decision on whether you can ride the thing safely. It is up to you to be responsible for your own safety.

Baron99 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I wonder if the scheme had similar initial problems in Oxford, Cambridge, Norwich & London? Shame if this city got a reputation for such vandalism that new start up companies wouldn't consider us worthwhile to lauch their products & services. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-s-new-scan-and-go-bikes-damaged-and-abandoned-by-vandals-1-8959865 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula4sheff Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Not sure police should be spending a "considerable amount of time collecting the new ofo bikes that have been damaged or abandoned". They shouldn't be spending ANY time doing that. They're a private company- let them do the collecting. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-s-new-scan-and-go-bikes-damaged-and-abandoned-by-vandals-1-8959865 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuttingedge Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I reported one yesterday stood on foot path at Barnsley Rd end of Deerlands ave it looked OK from the car what a pain it was trying to report it in the end I had to direct them from town to the traffic lights at the X roads, then he asked for a post code, I told to get here as quick as he could as I do not think it would be still useable in short time.

Why would anyone be to blame except yourself? Unless of course there's actually someone else involved and it was there fault for knocking you off. Helmets are of dubious safety benefit anyway.

scargill Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Seen first one on back of a scrap mans van allready They are micro chipped, so if true it will be easy to trace, and the thieves held accountable. If they are taken beyond certain limits they also message a warning to OFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
