Sort of bike lane related.. has anyone heard rumours that Lime Bike is halting the bike operation? Apparently you can’t get them through the app anymore. Only scooters.

I hate the scooters, they should cancel that instead.There are still bike showing up on the app but they are greatly outnumbered by scooters now. I know they were phasing out the bikes in favour of scooters in other cities.. I'd be sad to see the bikes go as I use them at least a few times a month.
The issue I have is there is no predictability with these scooters, people use them on the sidewalks, the bike lane and on the road. Riders are always trying to slalom which is annoying when you're trying to get by them, and if you get a few people side by side on them, then all common sense and logic go right out the window. There are too many people who just don't seem to know what they are doing and are wobbling all over the place. Biggest concern I have regards how fast they are on the sidewalks, people are ripping down at 25km/h and just ride right into the crosswalk without giving drivers enough time to see them and slow down, seen too many close calls already. In addition to that, people leave them all over the place, right in the middle of the sidewalk, bike lane and pathways. I'm really not a fan, and somebody is going to get killed riding one before long if this keeps up.
