***The emergence of shared bicycles has solved the "pain point" problem of the last mile. However, while it facilitates citizens, it also creates many social problems. Here I have summarized the following points:

1. Free bicycles are parked indiscriminately and occupy blind lanes and sidewalks, causing congestion in the city.
From the perspective of the bicycle operators themselves, they do not place the bicycles according to the principles of compliance and reasonableness. They often concentrate the bicycles at subway entrances, parks, bus stops and other places where people come and go, crowding out the space. Pedestrian passages also hinder sanitation workers from cleaning up. And users do whatever they want and don’t park their bicycles according to regulations. Indiscriminate parking of shared bicycles has also led to the occurrence of some social disputes. On February 17, 2017, a man in Jinan, Shandong Province was affected by more than 10 shared bicycles parked on the roadside that affected his newsstand. After stacking these cars, they were administratively detained by the police for "picking quarrels and provoking trouble."

2. The problem of artificial damage to shared bicycles is serious, and accountability is difficult to implement, reflecting the low quality of some citizens.
Bike sharing can be said to be a mirror of the quality of citizens. Since there is no one to track and supervise bicycle sharing, and there is no way to track and supervise it, the bad nature of some people is exposed. News reports often see bicycles being "dismembered" and missing parts; some are thrown into rivers and ditches; some are extra locked and used as private cars; They were labeled as "engraved certificate" and "cash out with credit card"; some QR codes and numbers were spray-painted or damaged, etc. However, due to the large number of private bicycles and their wide distribution, there is no way to supervise this kind of man-made damage, let alone hold the perpetrators accountable.

3. The responsibilities and rights are not clear, resulting in legal disputes.
According to relevant regulations, one must be at least 12 years old to ride a bicycle. If the cyclist is below this age, how to restrict and manage it? Accidents occur when children ride, and brakes fail, causing users to fall and get injured... While Xingxiang Bicycle solves the "last mile" pain point for users, who should be held responsible if an accident occurs while riding a Xinxiang Bicycle? These issues require the introduction of relevant laws and policies to clarify responsibilities and rights.
