"The bike-sharing culture needs to be responsible," urged Theseira.

As interest continues to rise, authorities everywhere will have to deal with mountains of rusting bikes hogging their streets too. But experts believe cities and operators will find a way to make bike-sharing work, even in China. "One [possibility] is that government regulation restricts entry, allowing the market to rationalise prices and capacity," Theseira suggested.

Does that mean that bike-sharing is here to stay, messy mountains of metal and all? It sure sounds so. Didi told CNET that it's in "constructive communication" with authorities on maintaining the sustainable development of bike-sharing. But before you ride off on one of those brightly coloured two-wheelers, remember to cycle safely, and think twice about where you leave the bike.

It's a figure of speech. I hope this is helpful: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/and_all

That whole website is pretty useful for grammar and all.
