Woman crashed into by Lime bike had to learn to walk again

Jane believes action needs to be taken.

“I was terrified going on the pavement – I still am. It’s like the Wild West with the Lime bikes. They’re still zooming on the pavements.

“There has to be a law so they’re not zooming on the pavements and are underage. How are underage kids getting them? If an elderly person had got my injuries, they wouldn’t have survived or young child,” she says.

Lime says it has been in direct contact with the family and last responded to them earlier this year.

There has been no further correspondence since then, and there are no outstanding questions required of Lime to respond to.

A Lime spokesperson said: “Our thoughts are with Jane and her family, and we are sorry for the distress this incident has caused.

“We take incidents like this extremely seriously. This situation has been carefully reviewed and handled in line with our policies.

“Safety informs everything we do at Lime – from how we design and maintain our vehicles, to our rider education, and how we work with cities.”
