One problem with my new shared bike reparking hobby is the antitheft measures.

Lime bikes lock only the back wheel, so you can roll them on the front wheel.

Beam bikes are light enough to pick up entirely, but they make squawking noises about their antitheft mode being activated. I think this mode turns off again after a while and someone can re-use the bike - but I'm not sure. I don't want to disable the bike by reparking it, that really would make it useless junk.

Anyone know more?

@jroper do they get upset if they think they’re on private property? I’ve never used a share bike.

@europlus They seem to get upset just at being lifted or moved while locked. I don't think they know if they're on private property (until someone else comes to rent the bike and reports they can't get to it).
