With a recent series of tube strikes affecting London, commuters are increasingly turning to bikes to get around. This shift has been particularly beneficial for dockless bike companies like Lime and Forest, which have seen a significant rise in usage.
Lime reported a 58 per cent increase in trips during the morning peak on the first day of strikes, with riders traveling farther and for longer durations. Forest saw an even more dramatic spike, with a 100 per cent increase in rides during the Monday rush hour and a 300% increase on Tuesday morning.
