It's called illegal parking. People are lazy or in a rush. Either way, your car gets towed too when you just throw it on the curb in front of the supermarket.
They don't get removed unless they are an immediate threat to safety or when they are particularly run down. And you always get a
warning card or sticker to tell you not to park there next time.
The difference is that cars have registration plates that make it a lot easier to track.
Good luck giving a unique description of your black omafiets that every single student has.
Anyway, they are stored in the
Fietsdepot.
If you are interested in any of these bikes check out
Tradefrm.nl and
Amsterdamsefietseveiling.nl. They auction them off.
Asva sells these bikes to students at a reasonable price and rents out bakfietsen for hauling around cargo. The rest gets sent to developing countries.
