As a person who lived in Copenhagen where the bike lived on a square similar to that piazza, that looks about right for a daily used outdoor living bicycle.

This is the square, that's a bike shop on the corner (had a free air line outside!)

Bike look about the same in both photos.

That's actually my flat with the windows open in the red building.

So, I don't see what you're on about with the bikes in the first photo!
