Hello Pete and everyone,
my name is Barbara Laa from TU Wien in Vienna, Austria at the Research Center of Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering. I found your article very interesting and useful since I am researching a similar topic at the moment.
I am working on a short paper on the regulatory possibilities of cities for addressing problematic issues with such bike hire schemes, with Vienna as a case study (ofo and oBike both pulled out of Vienna after the implementation of a new regulation this summer) and a comparison with other cities, including Melbourne. It would be nice to stay up to date with you and others about this topic!
Concerning conflict between motorists and cyclists I remember an interesting BBC article from 2013 (http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130212-why-you-really-hate-cyclists) that links negativity of car drivers towards cyclists to the psychological concept of "altruistic punishment".
Kind regards,
Barbara Laa
