Unwanted shared bikes could get new lease on life

AFTER THREE YEARS of service, the first short-hire sharing bikes have reached their retirement age. ThePaper.cn commented on Sunday:

Although these bicycles have brought convenience to people's lives, some problems have also emerged. After dozens of bike-sharing companies collapsed, their bicycles are still left uncollected, becoming ugly industrial waste.

The bankrupted enterprises are still legally obliged to collect and dispose of their bikes. It is against the law and their corporate social responsibility for them to use business bankruptcy as an excuse to shirk this duty.
