i think the bikes are being left out so people see them and get in their head about renting one. who would ride to Fruitland Walmart and just leave two of these along side of the road
ReplyDeleteTheres been one crumpled up front of Frootland Walmart for 2 or free weeks now. It was your election to lose!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSaw one in Princess Anne earlier this week.
ReplyDeleteHere is a Question
ReplyDeleteHow come Jake's daddy at Perdue doesn't make his employees ride those Orange Bikes huh jakey.!
there has been one at the corner of Pinehurst and smith street for days. So, you just ride it and leave it wherever? And they just sit out in the rain?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone give an explanation of how this works? Does the city own the bikes? Lease the bikes? Who gets the dollar? Who is responsible for maintenance? Best case scenario this is still a money loser because I'm sure with all the payment equipment these bikes are over $200 each.
ReplyDeleteBikes cost $500 each delivered to deploy location
Deletemaybe the person on the bike is inside?
ReplyDeleteHere's a few good questions, Whats the limit? How far can one person take a bike? I would assume they are locked to a certain region and would stop working and the tires lock up after you get them past say.. the Delaware line? I say Delaware because they would need a Delaware business license to accept money for services in the State of Delaware. Can we get someone on this? id like to see what happens when that bike reaches the Delaware line.
ReplyDeleteDockless bikes are actually a better way than docks that you have to go to/find. When you download the software for the bikes you are given a location where all bikes are at that time. Bike theft within the city(applies world-wide) is rampant for folks who commute w/bikes. It is a great idea in theory; just have to see if the public will respond.
ReplyDeleteI've got an idea make Mayor Jake ride one to and from his office. His idea after all!
ReplyDeleteI pretty sure there's one in Selbyville too. A haitan guys using it.
ReplyDeleteNot in Selbyville. I checked GPS tracking
Deletesaw one at Goodwill the other day...just tossed down on the pavement while there is a perfectly good bike rack a few feet away. I see them laying around Salisbury all the time. Big loss for the city!
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing more people using them. Every time we see one it's because somebody's used it, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThe people using them need transportation and can't afford a car and insurance or a taxi.

I saw 2 of those bikes the other night in front of Walmart on Rt. 13. I guess we saw the same bikes in the area of Sonic.

That's right.
I got to thinking today how Jake Day is a backstabbing cutthroat.
ReplyDeleteJim Ireton got him to run against Debbie Campbell and he won(cough, cough) his race to win District 2.
Then Jakey Boi got cocky and decided to run for mayor. That pissed Jimbo off and he decided that he didn't want the competition since he just barely got through his last race for mayor. Yep, Jake Day is a backstabber and people trust him to save da 'bury! I don't.
It's all tied to a bank card ..or credit card Thur a cell ..and if that's is the case ..why not just use the Uber app and be clean and done !?? Lol
ReplyDeleteStill there as of yesterday still in same spot
