Lime Bikes as Garbage Bins: A Rotterdam Complaint

A columnist for Monocle expresses concern over the misuse of Lime bike baskets as dumping grounds in various cities, including Rotterdam. During a visit to Rotterdam for the Utopian Hours urbanism event, the writer observed litter in every bike available. They propose that Lime could turn this issue into an opportunity by sponsoring garbage collection trucks. Additionally, the article mentions receiving a yellow-fever vaccination for a trip to Latin America and attending a reception at the Fenix museum, a repurposed warehouse designed by Mad Architects that opened last year. This museum, which focuses on migration, is located at the docks where Europeans once set sail for the Americas. The event was organized in collaboration with Droom en Daad, the museum's founding foundation.
