  It's interesting to see the timeline in serpentza's youtube videos about bike sharing in China Starts out well in January https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi9G1jLUeUk Overcrowding starting to be a problem in April https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdsb2wwn-7g Bike graveyards in October https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IYu4wzy9Lw

  All this waste makes me feel like we could just make free bikes for everyone. This one company could afford to make all these bikes, and yet they throw them away. We must be able to find a way to make free bikes for everyone who wants them.

  Guess their business model didn't work unless the city provided free parking for them.
