Not sure what the big deal is. More bikes on the road would result in less cars on the road and more parking for cars.

I’d rather deal with more traffic than the sidewalks littered with these rental bikes and more cyclists blowing through stop signs and stoplights like they don’t exist. And before someone says “drivers don’t come to a full stop”, yes they do at stoplights.

I know there are people who run red lights but not at the rate cyclists do. I also know cars do rolling stops at stop signs. However, if drivers did the same thing most cyclists did, you’d have most cars barreling through stop signs at full speed or pretty close to it. That doesn’t happen very often. Cars also don’t go up on sidewalks and scream at you to get out of the way, like many cyclists do.

If cyclists want to obey the rules of the road, great. I’m all for it. But they don’t, for the most part.

Only in America would people prefer more cars in the streets than bikes.

After the hepatitis outbreak, SDPD must have been forcing them to walk around and mingle with the normies.

If you go to Horton Plaza, don't use the elevators.

Nobody goes to Horton Plaza. Except for the moving trucks vacating the last of the mall tenants. What will they use it for when it closes? Homeless shelter? Convention center expansion solely for comic-con? Indoor stadium inside the nordstroms building for the 2,000 remaining chargers fans when they return after spanos goes bankrupt and sells the team?
How about a landfill for limebikes.

I wonder how many have made it South of border already for scrap metal.

Look up the average daily commute distance for san diegans. Now take that and apply it to any two points on a map in this city with industrial and residential areas at each end.
I guarantee an adventurous trek you would have a hard time getting people to ride even if you did it on sundays in springtime for charity and gave away t shirts for completing.
The topography and socioeconomics of our area simply do not foster bicycles as viable transportation. Even los angeles which has a basin is much better suited.
Stop forcing things that simply will not work. The best we can do is expand mass transit and last mile options but I doubt limebikes are the best solution for the latter.

I would say lots of them.
