Visually impaired people are put off visiting central London due to abandoned bikes.
The National Federation of the Blind of the UK says discarded e-bikes are creating safety issues for visually impaired Londoners
Blind people are being put off visiting central London's attractions due to "dangerous and awkward" e-bikes dumped on pavements, a charity has said. The National Federation of the Blind of the UK said stranded bikes meant many visually impaired people were unable to travel confidently.Hire company Lime said they were committed to removing wrongly parked e-bikes "within a short time frame".Sarah Leadbetter, NFB national campaigns officer, who is visually impaired, said she could not cross the road safely as e-bikes left on tactile pavements prevented her from reaching the tactile indicator at crossings.
"They are completely covering the pavement. It's hard for me and my guide dog to get around," she said.Miss Leadbetter says she has walked into several e-bikes and is worried one could fall on to her three-year-old guide dog Nellie"It is stopping my independence. I can not cross the road safely."It's that fear of not knowing. There is no way I would be able to get up .
