FREMONT - On the outskirts of Fremont's rolling hills, past eucalyptus trees and grassy cattle ranches, is an area with a long agrarian history that has been disrupted year after year by the momentum of modern industry. Livestock ranchers, roughnecks and agriculture have had a storied past in the rural land surrounding what is now a long stretch of Interstate Highway 680.
Russell Gray, director of heritage architecture firm Shiva Ltd, complained about bikes being constantly left on the company's private driveway in Bermondsey. He said the dumped bikes stopped his company from receiving deliveries. Mr Gray told Southwark News: We've had enough - Lime seems to think they have carte blanche to leave their bikes wherever they want, and the council lets them. We deal with the consequences. Lime said they would mark his driveways as no-parking zones for riders, but the problem persisted.
