The clickety-clack of a locked Lime bike in use has become an established part of the soundscape of most London boroughs, alongside the usual cacophony of sirens, shouting and the screeching of tires.
The noise indicates that a bike is technically being joy-ridden without payment - often by cheeky school kids - but it’s emblematic of a fairly nice advancement in London living: Lime bikes are everywhere. And while they may occasionally prove to be a bit of a nuisance if left on the pavement or at the bottom of a canal, more people cycling around this city cannot be a bad thing.
