During Paris Fashion Week, supermodel Naomi Campbell drew public attention for her use of a Lime electric rental bike to navigate city traffic and demonstrations. 

Videos of the incident showed Campbell performing extensive hygiene rituals, including using disinfectant spray, gel, and sterile gloves to sanitize the handlebars and seat. While the meticulous cleaning was noted, the footage also sparked debate regarding etiquette after used disinfectant wipes were discarded on the ground. 

Campbell reported difficulty riding the bike due to a lack of recent practice and wearing unsuitable footwear, during which she had a bodyguard follow her on a separate bicycle to carry her handbag.
