I don't have numbers, though, I doubt it's anywhere close as much as on Tokyo...but then our town is much smaller too!Leonore Wintererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681857834221038780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-46594424250820664772017-06-19T23:59:33.904+09:002017-06-19T23:59:33.904+09:00Goodness, I wouldn't have imagined that Japane...Goodness, I wouldn't have imagined that Japanese stations would have the space to keep abandoned bicycles!Antheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279501248165096595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-88247055390282203202017-06-19T00:49:04.874+09:002017-06-19T00:49:04.874+09:00Abandoned bikes?

They leave tons of stuff that is then sold in a huge garage sale manned by volunteers of various charities who split the profits. Win/win for everyone. I have also heard that the City of South Bend will start renting bikes to get around town now that they have modified streets to include bike lanes.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-35656431164812600552017-06-18T08:05:26.307+09:002017-06-18T08:05:26.307+09:00I have never heard of so many bikes being abandone...I have never heard of so many bikes being abandoned. .where do the owners go? Here there is a chance your bike can be stolen, one bike was left down near the beach here, but the police came and got it and it was reunited with it's owner. I think a homeless person took it to get around while he was sleeping down by the beach.kiwikidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267387525703999696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-82134880055416721692017-06-17T13:20:37.426+09:002017-06-17T13:20:37.426+09:00Ha, ha!

In 1990, when the economy was good, people would treat their bicycles, and other things too, like disposable items! I had a student who lost several bicycles because she could not be bothered to lock it!<br />These days there is a recycle fee if you want to throw your bicycle away, so it's 'cheaper' to just abandon it (before that remove any any identity signs) at the station!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-91504307833733627142017-06-17T07:20:44.965+09:002017-06-17T07:20:44.965+09:00lol good joke Pamela,wow that is amazing,i have ne...lol good joke Pamela,wow that is amazing,i have never heard of anyone leaving there bike ,you only hear of them being stolen xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-82187716169465566752017-06-17T06:13:04.522+09:002017-06-17T06:13:04.522+09:00Where I live having your bike stolen is a real pos...Where I live having your bike stolen is a real possibility but abandoned bikes are not so common.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494933770754796059noreply@blogger.com
