Rode it into central Brixton and parked it in front of the tube station by the bike racks.
"Simply collect and leave ofo bikes anywhere that traditional bike parking is allowed."
Hmmm - odd.

Anywhere traditional bike parking is allowed...within a certain area.
Edit: From their FAQs:
"There is a perimeter boundary around your city, which you can view in the ofo app. The area is designated by a green line, we call this the "geofence". If you take the bike outside of this area, you will have 12 hours to return the ofo bike back inside the "geofence". Failure to do so will result in credit points being taken from your ofo account.
"Looking at the map in the app, Brixton lies outside that green area.

Rode an Ofo bike back from work on Thursday. It felt small but actually pretty OK.
Parked it at the end of my street in Streatham. Seemed OK. Rode it into central Brixton and parked it in front of the tube station by the bike racks.
Got a text to say I was illegally parked. Huh? Oh, I'm outside the approved area? Ugh, that sucks! What's the point in dockless bikes that have limits on where you can go? Might as well just have docks.
Anyway, I was penalised 20 ofo credits, which seems to impact how much I pay for my journeys.
I'm not hugely encouraged by all this...
