Two bicycles belonging to the bicycle-sharing company Lime were spotted abandoned on a Dublin street, but the company confirmed that the two werent part of a surprise rollout or testing.The bikes, spotted on a north inner-city street by a reader who shared the image above, were in a poor state of repair, with flat tyres likely the reason why they were abandoned. Shortly before this article was published, the company said it could not confirm whether the two bicycles were taken from Co Mayo, where their bikes are available to rent in Castelbar and Westport, or from the UK, where the company operates, such as the Greater Manchester area.A very long cycle, train, or ferry doesnt have the same ring to it as Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but for now, were left with wondering if the two bicycles were cycled all the way from Castlebar, if somebody flung them onto a van or train, or if they were brought over on the ferry from the UK. But the company, like other international operators, has made no secret of its desire to operate in Dublin. So it used the opportunity to joke that Dubliners must want to see its service in the city.Tom Newham, senior manager of public affairs at Lime, said: It looks like some Dubliners who tried the Lime bikes in other locations enjoyed them so much they decided to take them home.Unfortunately, as we dont currently operate here, they would have been disappointed to find the bikes do not work. That said, we would love to bring Lime to Irelands capital city, and were flattered it appears Dubliners feel the same, he said.He added: Our operations team will be collecting these bikes and moving them back to their correct location. As they are outside their designated area, these bikes are currently out of service and will not work in Dublin.
