  • Know one or two bikes around here that could do with throwing in a canal. Not talking of cycles either...lol.

  • hey i can see my bike :)

  • ARE YOU SERIOUS THAT MANY?!

  • Bikes Claw Crane Game :-)

  • @firedradra Acts of vandalism... not secure parking of your bike: a few factors that will help the bike-population in the canals ;)

  • @TYNSDALE Most parts are far from optimal condition when they have been in the thilthy water for so long... This is just scrap metal...

  • When I was living in Amsterdam for 2 years I had 4 bikes stolen from me. Bloody criminals! Good thing is, you can pick them up for like 40€ used, so it's not a big deal.

  • do people in Amsterdam throw bikes away to river naturally ?

  • @TYNSDALE Not really, there are so many used bikes in the netherlands, that supply is way bigger than demand. A perfectly good bike will cost you around $50 on the used market in the netherlands, which is less than it would cost to bring one of these bikes into good condition. My guess is that these bikes will be handled as scrap metal.

  • i would be interested in how many bikes the local authorities fish out in a year. I didn't find statistics about it.
