Ban undocked hire bikes

Closed 221 signatures

What the petition asks

Undocked hire bikes, like those provided by Lime, Dott, HumanForest, need to be banned. Many people just dump their bikes in the middle of the pavements, blocking walking paths and making it especially difficult for people in wheelchairs to go past.
What is the point of widening the pavements for people to walk on when you have hire bikes obstructing them?
