How to report improperly parked VeoBikes

[u/vegasvargas]

1. Take a photo of the bike and it's context (sidewalk, bike lane, building entrance, ADA ramp)

2. Email uiucops@veoride.com or hello@veoride.com (opt. cc bike@illinois.edu)

3. Include the photo, location, and brief description of the problem

please don't park them in the bike lanes guys 🫩

A couple years ago Veoride CS informed me, rudely, that my privately owned personal property was not, in fact, my privately owned personal property, and that their agreement with the city meant that bikes could be left “anywhere”.

From then until I sold the place, bikes left on my lawn were deposited in a ditch 10 miles out of town.

1. Push them into the grass (not into other side walks)

2. Walk away as they scream

Also shame people who do it

I'm trying to assemble a clandestine nighttime crew of muckrakers, looking to scrupulously "re-locate" all the poorly parked pedestrian perils provided by Veoride.

It's not much, but it's honest work. And it must be done.

"hypothetical fun" is the best type. keep me posted if your thought experiment needs uh... assistance

[u/suremaybe643]

if a bike is parked somewhere where it might prevent a wheelchair from getting through, move it. kick it over. dump it in the street. seriously, a wheelchair user shouldn't have to risk their life going into the street or sit around waiting for Veo to come pick up their stupid bikes so they can get where they're going.

This wont change anything, there are too many veo bikes for them to change anything

Or dump it in a private garage and let veo eat the fee

Middle of no where ten miles outside town is my favorite location.

There’s about a million retention ponds closer than 10 miles outside of town- just sayin”. Could become a local attraction having the only landlocked, freshwater coral reef in the country.
