Hundreds of Lime hire bikes were reportedly left scattered across Sydney after the City2Surf race, prompting complaints from residents about obstructed pavements, streets and bus stops. The incident has renewed concerns over how shared e-bikes are parked and managed after major public events, particularly where they may impede pedestrians and public transport users.

Locals said the bikes created access problems in busy areas, with some left in places that restricted movement around bus stops and along footpaths. The disruption followed City2Surf, one of Sydney’s largest annual fun runs, although the article text provided does not include details of any response from Lime or the local council.
