According to the Daily Mail, Ofo, a Chinese bike-sharing company, will withdraw all its bikes from Australia after being criticised by community residents.
A spokesman for Ofo said the company would leave Australia in the next 60 days, calling it a "strategic decision".
Many residents have expressed their disappointment with the bike-sharing system. Bike sharing is an affordable, efficient and sustainable way to travel in cities.
But the bikes were not locked when they were not in use, and they were often seen smashed, destroyed, thrown in water or hung on trees.
A Ofo spokesman said the move would allow the company to focus more on priority areas in the international market.
"over the next 60 days, Ofo will take clean-up operations in Adelaide and Sydney. Ofo will also begin to collect bicycles from the city and reorganize them into our warehouse. It's not an easy decision. Ofo Australia will act responsibly in every market. "
Adelaide City spokesman said they have not received the relevant notice.
The company announced a few days ago that it would clean up bikes in the Middle East and Israel.

Ofo claims to be one of the largest bike-sharing companies with a market capitalization of more than 1 billion yuan. Scott Walker, chief executive of Ofo Australia's strategy, criticized rivals oBike and Reddy, in 2017 for throwing their bikes in public places in Australia.
The bike-sharing company, founded in China, was launched in Australia in October 2017.
