It's inconvenient and unsafe when I have to run in a bike lane on George Bush because the three yellow bikes coming at me are taking up the sidewalk.techno-ag said:
If it helps the environment, what's a little inconvenience to everybody?

There is one at the park in my neighborhood

They were left all over the Reed parking lot during the baseball game. Most of the time in a regular parking spot. I don't understand why they can't use gps or bluetooth to control it. If the bike is not checked back in within so many feet of a bike rack, the fee goes up dramatically. $1 to ride, but after 5 hours it is $40. Riders will make sure that they get it back in a bike rack.

Cause the whole point is that they don't have to be in bike racks.

That is not correct. It says all over the website and their terms of use that it is to be returned to a bike rack.

If you have a bike that you had to scan to unlock & ride that you leave in a sidewalk or in Normangee, shouldn't it be easy to fine or add charges for the idiot who left it there? There's already an electronic & GPS record, right?

There are relocation fees if you leave the bike outside the specified area (aka in Normangee).

Isn't anything other than a bike rack considered outside of the specified area for leaving the bike?

You don't HAVE to register your bike on campus, they just want you to register your bike on campus.
