Lime has had to clarify its bikes are 'not for jousting' after a duel video

bbc.co.uk

Lime has apparently had to remind people its bikes are 'not for jousting' after a video of a duel went around. The fact that a company had to say this out loud is kind of incredible. I can't decide if this is peak internet stupidity or just people being people. What's the dumbest thing you've seen someone do with a rental scooter or bike?

I've seen someone try to ride a scooter while carrying a full size mattress. jousting feels almost reasonable
