Incredible! At first I thought the photo may have been a creation, but no...the sheer size of these piles is astounding.
Hmmm so from the BBC video, it seems the problem is not that there are too many bikes, but that riders park them badly, and the authorities therefore confiscate them? Hopefully those bikes can be sold on for cheap for poor families or similar. It's just such a waste.
Oh Look! One for every day of the year....for the next 15000 years...
@Bulletpoint There are that many bad bike parkers in China?
We're doomed.

Perhaps pedestrian people will park the pedal power in pretty piles. 
Yes, but if pedestrians were properly parking pedal-powered velocipedes then perchance the parking predicament would be non-existent.Perhaps pedestrian people will park the pedal power in pretty piles.
