Two 'knights' joust on Lime e-bikes in a London park, and Lime asks people not to
A crowd chanting 'joust,' chain mail, striped poles and a corporate statement about the medieval spirit.
Hundreds of people gathered at London Fields over the weekend of Oct. 17-18 to watch artist Jack Carden and actor Camtholomew the First, in armor and cloaks, charge at each other on rented Lime e-bikes with striped poles, The Standard reports. Videos show one rider knocked off his bike.
Carden had billed it as a "free public joust" and "performance art." Lime responded on Monday: "While we appreciate the medieval spirit, safety must always come first. Lime bikes are designed for getting around the city, not for jousting."
