The City-dockless bikes in Rockaways &"transportation Deserts" 8/22/19

There seems to be some reluctance on the part of NYCDOT to unleash dockless bikes in The Rockaways-possibly Staten Island and The Bronx. Given that there are areas called transportation deserts there could be a benefit. However there is clearly a nuisance value to unfettered bikes
being abandoned willy nilly. See the San Diego Repo Men. Further bike share does not call for
maintenance on the part of the rider. Less responsible attitude are invited.Bikes without a responsible bike culture means bike bedlam.

We reported last month that the city planned to stop its dockless bike-share pilot program in the Rockaways at the end of the summer. Here’s what changed after our story got some attention.
