[Talk-GB] Dockless bike hire

[Steven Hirschorn]

I wasn't aware that dockless bikes have designated (preferred?) parking
places since the demise of Mobike (and even Mobikes could be left anywhere,
so the designated locations were more to do with where the operator would
park them when they redistributed them)

EScooters on the other hand have to be dropped off in designated locations
so I've been using amenity=escooter_rental in the absence of a better more
specific tag. This is a newish service (in the UK at least) so I don't feel
like new tags are inappropriate.

What company are using dockless bikes that are meant to be parked in a
specific location?
