Reno Destroying Company's Rental Bikes At Faster Rate

RENO, Nev. (AP) — An official with a bike and e-scooter rental company says Reno destroys their rental bikes at twice the rate of other cities.

 

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports Lime Director of Strategic Development Gabriel Scheer shared this information at a Reno city council meeting Wednesday.

Scheer says he is not sure why Reno destroys bikes at a faster rate than other cities that Lime services.

 

A Lime bike was found atop the Virginia Street Bridge this summer.

There was also a spike in thefts during Burning Man.

A Facebook page encourages people to do terrible things to the bikes.

Scheer says the bikes are public amenity provided by a private company that can only tolerate so much.
