Lime warns e-bikes are not for jousting after viral duel in London

Lime has stated that its e-bikes are "not for jousting" after social media videos showed riders dressed in knightly armour duelling across London.

Footage surfaced online over the weekend showing hundreds of people gathered in London Fields, east London, to view artist Jack Carden and actor Camtholomew the First jousting whilst riding the bright green rentable e-bikes.

In the clips, the duo are seen clad in chain mail, red and black cloaks, helmets and full armour, riding towards each other brandishing striped poles.

Brilliant idea! As long as they destroy the bikes in the process, so that those ones at least can no longer be used to knock down old ladies on pedestrian crossings.

Peter - yes, they would have to be banned from anywhere but the jousting lists.
