I can't imagine adopting that our town.

At this point, I think the dock-less scooters are more palatable. In the few short weeks I saw them around town and even in Zilker, I never saw them on their side, (though - I don't think I would mind that as much) Anyone know if those companies plan to reintroduce them?

They should keep the bikes docked just for aesthetics and safety......just add more docking stations.

I agree, bicycles need to be docked just for the fact that they can't be knocked over which causes other problems.
