I think the bikes are eyesores, and I don't think a company should be able to base its business on storing inventory on public property (except for alternative newspapers, of course). That said, these companies seem to provide a useful service that docked bikes didn't seem to (based on what I've seen - maybe the gray docked bikes are just less noticeable).
I think a starting point would be requiring a permit on each bike (as newspaper boxes have to have). Set a reasonable cap on the number of permits to allow for new competitors to enter the market - or if enough competition exists, hold an auction for permits every few years. As part of the permitting process, companies would have to demonstrate the ability to effectively respond to complaints.
OK, Dryw. I bought a couple of Jazz apples for test purposes. Wow, they are indeed crisp! You could drop one off the California Tower in Balboa Park, and it would bounce over to the Organ Pavilion! Way too firm for me. I'll bake the other one in the oven. I'll stick to my fave: good ol' Gala apples.
