Dockless bike-share will launch in Chicago on Tuesday, May 1

The pilot program, which will take place on the South Side between 79th and 138, mostly outside the Divvy zone, will last through November. After July 1, all cycles must be the "lock-to" style, with a built-in U-lock or cable that must be secured to a rack, sign, or decommissioned parking meter, rather than the "free-floating" style, which only have wheel locks. https://chi.streetsblog.org/2018/04/26/cdot-has-released-the-permit...

John, it is sad to say that "free floating" was the correct term. I was back in Rockford this week and a local told me that on day one of Lime Bike they found one in the Rock River. They found another in a tree. I hope the bikes fare better here.
