Benefits of Bike Sharing and Its Drawbacks
Los Angeles is home to the 405 Freeway, the busiest interstate of any city in the country. A report from the Daily Breeze concluded that this cluster of roads averages around 379,000 vehicles a day, helping California become the state with the densest traffic in the nation. With so many cars on the road, West Coast Trial Lawyers have noticed that Californians have picked up on the rapidly growing, worldwide trend of bike sharing. The bike sharing system works by allowing riders to rent a bike for a short period of time and then leave it behind -- usually in a specialized dock -- for the next rider to enjoy. These businesses operate using modern technology that integrates with your smartphone, allowing users to find and track the bike. Since its introduction in 2016, bike sharing systems have grown to over 100 stations and 1,400 bikes in downtown Los Angeles alone. The popularity of these systems is undeniable, but with such a rapid growth in recent times, you may be curious as to why this is happening. As bike sharing continues to grow in popularity, accidents are bound to occur.

Disadvantages of Bike Share Programs
Although there are many benefits to bike sharing, nothing comes without a price. The popular idea of bike sharing has received harsh criticism. Not only do an abundance of unused or broken bikes become litter, but cities have raised concerns about bikes being left in random or dangerous places. Furthermore, a large majority of bike share riders do not wear helmets since they do not own a bike. The same holds true for inexperienced or first-time riders who can seriously harm themselves while riding a bike.Contact Us to Find Out How We Can Help
