Do you often sympathies with the bicycle owner if you see a bicycle ended up like this?
I do.
Bicycle (or bicycle parts) thief in Singapore is very common and pretty much uncontrolled… why would the police want to help you hunt down a few missing bicycle tires when they have much more important things to do? However, seeing such a notice comes as a complete shock to me:
The owners of this bicycle are required to remove the bicycles from the bicycle stand immediately.
Failing which the Town Council have no other alternative but to arrange worker and remove them accordingly.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Imagine if the owner of the bicycle went overseas. He came back a saw the bicycle missing. He will never ever suspect that his Town Council had stolen it.
Luckily, the Town Council is not inhuman. The notice was put up a few weeks ago and both the notice and the bicycle is still there.
Lets see how things will turn out.




In the UK we get angry when people install this type of stand. Instead on Sheffield Stands: they encourage locking round the frame instead of just the wheel.
Good luck.
