I saw one in Lausanne recently, where a chap was assiduously filling up

Lausanne is built on a rather large hill. I imagine all the bikes drift to
the bottom, so some kind of rebalancing is required. I imagine that isn't
so much a problem in London or Paris ...

In Paris it's certainly a problem at Montmartre, where bikes have to be
taken by truck back to the top of the hill.
