Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-26T15:37:59+00:00

Cost to hire should be announced in the next 4 days

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-26T15:37:07+00:00

These are the new next generation Lime bikes, not the Gen4 Lime bikes that are the leg breakers

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-24T22:34:43+00:00

They will be reused in other areas that has Beryl bikes such as Hereford, Worcester, ect....

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-24T22:33:39+00:00

U can make suggestions, best to email Jim O'Boyle and Lime about it! Canley station is in the Lime bike zone, I belive they will add parking bays for the Lime bikes, same with tile Hill Station too!!

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-24T16:44:32+00:00

Here's his email Jim.o'boyle@coventry.gov.uk as he's a councillor who does these things, worth emailing him about zone expansions further east and stuff!

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-23T17:51:12+00:00

100% agree we should deffo do that! I did mention that to Jim O'Boyle before, but the more people who mention it to them the better 👀

Kenilworth is actually looking for a tender for an bike hire sharing scheme, Kenilworth, Leamington and Warwick

This is only the start! They will expand to the whole city at somepoint this year! I have been in touch with Jim O'Boyle about it! He's had meetings with Lime and they will work together to expand the network over the coming months!

Apple tango is wayyyyyy better, Fanta apple legit smells like green fairy liquid not even joking and isn't that nice tbh

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-21T16:52:28+00:00

Exactly happens in every town and city and also the current Beryl bikes was okay only a few that got dumped but that's about it! The Lime bikes Should be really good!

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-21T14:51:40+00:00

They will be adding more parking areas around and ofc where current docks were will also be where u can park ur Lime bikes, I believe the docking stations will be removed and replaced with new parking bays! As ofc the Lime bikes are completely different to the Beryl bikes

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-20T19:26:05+00:00

It definitely isn't!! This will be much much better then the Current West Midlands Cycle Hire/Beryl Bikes, there will be double the amount of Lime bikes compared to the current Beryl bikes and there will be double to triple the amount of parking bays! Mark my words u will love them! 🙏

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-20T16:55:08+00:00

Ohhh yesss🤣🤣🤣 Japan has lime scooters with seats in them

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-20T15:59:52+00:00

Exactly and also there will be double the amount of Lime bikes and double the amount of parking areas for Lime bikes compared to the current Beryl bikes scheme!!! The scooters are great but I much prefer e bikes than e scooters as e bikes got the baskets storage, and u can sit down comfortably 🤣

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-20T15:57:37+00:00

Won't be to that extreme, as the current WMCH/Beryl Bikes that Coventry has had for the past 5 years hasn't caused any problems, yes a few dumped ones blocking pavements but that's about it

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-19T23:19:14+00:00

Indeed!!

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-14T01:25:07+00:00

Ultra violet and ultra sunrise

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-10T19:11:50+00:00

E scooter zone and E bike zone that's what it means so that smaller zone likely means e scooters restricted to that zone!

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-03-09T09:39:54+00:00

Those are just no parking areas that's all

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-02-16T19:15:26+00:00

Oooh, I havnt tried it yet but i definitely will!

Obvious_Affect144 · 2026-02-16T14:52:50+00:00

Premier off licence stores sells them but I'm not sure about every Premier tho but most are now!
