  • 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.

  • @Sparky or @GwGs will be more qualified to comment, but I imagine the current 'geofence' is probably the borough boundary of the London Borough of Southwark, where they have an agreement with the local authority (as in Hackney). Brixton's in (the London Borough of Lambeth). Tricky if you're not aware.
