Video: Like bikes? Like fishing? This could be for you – O Bike fishing
Love cycling? Love fishing? Why not follow the lead of Australian YouTube user Tommy Jackett and combine the two?
With Far Eastern dockless bike operators now launching in cities worldwide - London, Manchester, Bristol, Oxford and Cambridge are among British cities where the likes of Ofo and Mo Bike can be found - the likelihood is that some of them will be dumped in local waterways by ne'er do wells.
With the help of a huge hook and some strong line, Jackett went fishing in Melbourne's River Yarra and got a decent haul.
"They're like carp," he said. "You don't throw them back in."
O Bike itself is based in Singapore and in another video filmed in Melbourne, Jackett used a drone to film what he termed the company's "Mothership."

Sice when have people not put carp back in, unless it's Easter in Krakov?
Ha, ha. This is EXACTLY what I predicted would happen to the Manchester scheme
