Shared bikes provide great convenience to the public, but people's misconduct in using them has led to some social problems and even disturbed social order.

Some people randomly park their shared bikes on the roads, sidewalk and even on the walkways for the blind, which causes inconvenience to pedestrians and obstructs traffic. Some people even vandalize the shared bikes to give vent to their anger.

To try and maintain order, people calling themselves "shared bike hunters" have appeared in major cities. They voluntarily search for shared bikes that are causing a nuisance and remove them so they no longer pose a risk to others.

One senior citizen who has been a shared bike hunter in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, for more than three years, has corrected more than 10,000 violations of other users.

More and more people from all walks of life are volunteering to be shared bike hunters. They use an urban grid-based division of labor to conduct a search of public spaces for shared bicycles that have been discarded by their users in an inconsiderate way.

From being users to becoming regulators of other users represents a raising of civic awareness. In the era of the shared economy, users are an important part of sharing, and the image of citizens and the influence of this new type of behavior is far-reaching. As a member of society, while enjoying convenient services, citizens must also actively monitor and report bad behavior. This protects not only the interests of society but also the image of citizens themselves.
