Yeah, right, into the crusher, sort, melt. The usual. If you take a look
at the height of the pile it becomes obvious that the bicycles were
likely literally thrown onto that pile without any care whether they'd
be damaged. Many won't even have a straight frame anymore.

This is how it's done right:

Two companies want to set up dockless bike sharing in my city. They've
come to City Council meetings with their bicycles to pitch their
company. There's a Limebike in my city hall office. I have my doubts as
to the success of such a venture and I have concerns about the liability
of the City. The bicycles are so incredibly heavy that I doubt that they
would be stolen.
