Whatever Happened to ofo? A Barber Thinks Out Loud
So I was standing outside the shop last week, waiting on my lunch delivery (late again), and this rusty yellow bike rolls past, no rider, just leaning on a cart someone was dragging. Took me a second. Then it clicked. ofo.
Remember those? The yellow bikes that were everywhere for like, two years? Like urban weeds — popping up on sidewalks, in parks, under overpasses. Couldn’t avoid ‘em if you tried.
Anyway, figured I’d jot down a few thoughts. Not a deep dive or anything, just what’s rattling around in my head about that whole bike-share thing. It’s wild how something can go from “future of cities” to “urban junk” in no time.
The Bike Flood
I remember when these bikes first showed up. Think it was around 2017? Maybe earlier in China. Didn’t matter where — downtown, near malls, even in my neighborhood, which isn’t exactly downtown. These yellow bikes just started appearing.
No docks. No stations. You scanned the QR code on your phone, paid a few coins, and off you went. Perfect for short rides, grabbing coffee, avoiding traffic. Kinda felt like the streets belonged to everyone for a minute.
Dockless bike-sharing — that was the hot term. People were talking like it’d replace cars, buses, all that. Spoiler: it didn’t.
Looked Good on Paper
I mean, the idea was solid. Reduce traffic. Cut emissions. Make exercise easy. All that jazz. For students, commuters, folks like me who hate paying for parking downtown — it was gold.
And ofo wasn’t alone. There was Mobike, Lime, Jump... I lose track. But ofo was the one with the brightest color and the most “show up anywhere” energy.
They raised crazy amounts of money. Pushed into dozens of countries. Dumped bikes by the truckload. It felt like one day there were zero ofos, and the next day there were 500 stacked next to my local noodle spot.
But Then It Got Ugly
Real fast. The bikes started breaking. Seats missing. Chains jammed. Tires flat. You’d see them tipped over, tossed in ditches, or just left in the middle of crosswalks like someone rage quit their ride mid-trip.
I remember asking one of my regulars — guy works in logistics — “Who’s fixing all these?” He laughed. “No one.”
Turns out, the model worked as long as people treated the bikes with basic respect. But they didn’t. Plus, nobody was maintaining them properly. It was all expansion, not upkeep. And when cities pushed back (because bikes were literally clogging up sidewalks), things got messier.
The Refund Meltdown
You know what really did people in? The deposits. You had to put down money to unlock access. Like $15 or $30, depending on where you were. Not crazy amounts, but still — that’s people’s money.
Then when ofo started sinking, folks tried to get their refunds. What did they get? “You’re in line.” Some people waited months. Some never got it back. My cousin’s still mad about his 199 yuan or whatever.
That’s when people started turning on ofo. Before that, it was kind of a joke. After that? Not so funny.
It Was a Symbol — Good and Bad
Honestly, ofo was like the perfect snapshot of startup hype. Big promises, fast growth, zero brakes. Everyone wants to be Uber, but not everyone makes it out clean.
They launched in places before even setting up support teams. Bikes flooded cities before rules were in place. In the end, they ran out of cash, goodwill, and working bikes.
I heard they’re technically still around in China, in some places. But it’s like seeing a Myspace page that still loads. Not dead, but definitely not alive.
Side Observations from the Shop
The ofo bikes were heavy. Like riding a small fridge. If you were late, that thing wasn’t helping.
The seat height adjustment? Basically decorative. Always stuck or too low.
I knew one guy who rode ofo to dates. Said it showed he was eco-conscious. His words, not mine.
The app worked... until it didn’t. Then you were just staring at a dead lock and a broken app, looking dumb in public.
