Lime reimagines wasted car parking spaces after report recommends new e-bike parking rules for London

Lime is encouraging Londoners to re-imagine how inner city street spaces could be repurposed to meet growing cycle demand and solve the capital’s e-bike parking challenges through an illusion in Camden.

Lime is launching the artwork to bring to life recommendations from a new independent report by transport consultancy, Steer, and advised on by leading think-tank, Centre for London: Changing Spaces – How to solve London’s shared e-bike parking challenge (Pdf 13,546Kb)
