It's a fake and a riff off that "fake VW Golf ad" a while back.

Holy crap. Their model is to allow people to leave the bikes anywhere? How in the hell could that work?

I'm assuming there are GPS trackers on the bikes and somehow they measure how long/how far a bike is used. Maybe?

Re: Silly pics...what'cha got??....maybe NSFW
Yeah, but the bikes go off into the distance while the article talks about 500 bikes. There are at least 100 (if not 200 or 300. There are over 15 bikes in the first row)) bikes before the first or second pole. If the pic is not photoshopped, there are thousands of bikes pictured. Thousands.The Meal wrote:First link I foundGreenGoo wrote:Someone tell me that's photoshopped, please.
edit: Ok, it's not clear but the picture is probably not of the 500 mentioned in the article. Given the article, 10's of thousands of bikes in one place is easily possible.
I'm amazed.

Yeah, that bike thing doesn't make sense. Even if they have GPS to track, what's stopping people from just picking up a bike and riding off?

Nothing, I guess, if they can bypass the lock and GPS tracker.Punisher wrote:Yeah, that bike thing doesn't make sense. Even if they have GPS to track, what's stopping people from just picking up a bike and riding off?
As I vaguely understand it, a customer uses a smartphone app to rent a bike and the app allows them to unlock it. The bike itself is tracked by GPS and the customer is paying by time, so presumably they need to be able to confirm that they've relocked the bike to close off the billing period.
The photo doesn't show a random conglomeration of bikes that have all been dropped off by customers at one location. It appears to be one of Ofo's "graveyards" -- a depot for damaged/vandalized bikes awaiting repair.

Until Isgrimnur's posting of the actual video, I just assumed it was fake.
I figured there was no way he could possibly have stood up after hitting that railing that hard. He would have broken some ribs at the very least, and probably a lot of internal damage as well. Then I see the actual video, and think: Oh. It was a high school kid. Those fuckers can survive anything.

He hit that rail just right. Another few inches back and he'd have had ribs in his lungs. Another few inches forward and he'd have been headed further down with a crushed pelvis. As it was, he hit just above his hip which caused him to fold over and redirected a lot of that energy.

I'll just point out that a lot of that energy that Blackhawk says got redirected, it got redirected into rotational energy which brought his face into contact with the glass at a nice clip.
So, that's fun.
