They’ve been piled up in parks, dumped in rivers and even thrown into rubbish bins.
But the reaction of one angry old man to the yellow oBikes that have popped up in all parts of Australia’s capital cities could be the most savage yet.
Incredible video taken on the foreshore of Sydney’s Bondi Beach caught the moment the grey-haired man pushed over multiple bikes, before walking off with a grin on his face.

Despite his arm being in a sling, the recent injury did little to deter the man from his bike-tipping spree.
Stopping by one of the oBikes, the first sign the elderly man is up to no good comes when he looks around to check if he is being watched.
Believing the coast is clear, he walks up to the bike and after numerous efforts tips it over with his right arm, before quickly scuttling away.
Clearly with a bee in his bonnet about the bikes, the man goes on the rampage again further down the path.
Noticing another oBike standing upright, he walks up and pulls it over before walking away.
Finding another one standing on the path, he is seen taking the helmet and putting it into a bin – again with a smile on his face.
Leaving social media divided, his actions were praised by critics of the bike system while others called for him to be charged by police with vandalism.
‘I do hope he gets arrested and charged… this is appalling behaviour,’ a commenter wrote.

‘I bet he thinks he is so untouchable… if a group of kids was doing this that guys gen would be up in arms about how they have no respect!’ another said.
‘I personally find them an absolute eyesore every corner on public and private property,’ one supporter of the man wrote.
The dockless transport system has not only led to the bikes being left on footpaths in cities across Australia, but also being vandalised and dumped in public spaces.
Just this week dozens of oBikes were fished out of Melbourne’s Yarra River for the second time in a month, leading the council to announce they will start impounding bikes not parked properly.
Councils will be able to confiscate and impound oBikes and slug the operators with a $50 release fee for every bike.

With the helmet in hand, the man then walked up to the bin and threw it inside before casually walking away

Some people have questioned whether anyone had ever seen people actually riding the share bikes, which cost users from $1.99 per 30 minutes.
Critics say the Reddy Go’s red bicycles and oBike’s yellow bikes are too often being dumped in public spaces or vandalised.
One image posted to social media by oBike shows 42 of their bikes being pulled from Melbourne’s Yarra River in four hours.
The company has pleaded with users to stop vandalising the bikes.
A City of Sydney spokeswoman says the inner-city council strongly supports the sharing scheme but is concerned about the impact dockless bikes are having on the public domain.
The bike photo is one of dozens that has been shared on social media since the introduction of the dockless share bikes about four months ago in Melbourne and Sydney
