A Problem Shared
Bike-sharing organisations in NATIONSNAME are facing a bump in the road: inconsiderate users. From theft to vandalism, irresponsible users are forcing bikes to be replaced at unprecedented rates. The future looks bleak for bike-sharing, and without some swift intervention, the sound of bike bells across the nation’s cities may be consigned to distant memory.
I’ve encountered with 4 choice
1. “The misuse of our bikes must stop!” exclaims Xu Goethe, the Commissioner of the Committee of Communist Communal Commuting Commodities, his two-wheeler tracking mud across your expensive carpet as he parks it against your bookcase. “It is essential that the police are given the resources to catch and punish citizens who damage or disappear our bicycles. Otherwise, our burgeoning bike-sharing scheme will fold even before it takes off.”
2. “Clearly, this is a job for the free market,” claims Chuck Montgomery, the Minister of Alternative Solutions, adjusting his tie. “If such organisations were privatised, they would be motivated to protect their bicycles – and their profit margin – and would likely fit their bikes with auto-locking mechanisms, theft-proof components and other effective measures. I mean sure, we’ll have to end Communism, but that’s no big thing is it?”
3. “Got to say, all those extras sound kind of bulky,” observes Ivanka Svensson, who smells faintly of petrol. “You probably ought to allow bikes to have some sort of on-board motive dynamo to help with that weight, maybe one or two extra wheels for stability, a vertical column and wheel steering system, and some sort of metal casing to protect the rider and all the delicate parts. In fact, with the extra power on board, you could also put some passenger seats in.”
4. “Nonsense! What those bike-sharing organisations actually require are more easily replaceable stock,” argues origami-lover Milhouse Capulet, passing you a folded paper unicorn of unknown significance. “Inexpensive eco-friendly cardboard bikes would surely save loads of money, are entirely safe, and are fully waterproof and fire-resistant. If it wasn’t for user scepticism, we’d have been using them long ago. You could encourage their use by banning metal bikes, and with a few business subsidies.”
5. Dismiss the issue
Option 4. sounds nice so I choose it.
