A Graveyard Of Colorful Bike-Share Causes Problem In China

Millions of bicycles are left abandoned in several cities in China as a result of an oversupply from Bike-share services. At first, these companies thought that this kind of business would boom, but unfortunately, to their dismay, it did not.

Ever since the fall of Bike-share companies, the government is trying to figure out what to do with the bicycle graveyards. See some of the photos below:

#1. Tons of colorful bicycles from different bike-sharing companies piled up together with the rubbles of demolished houses on July 8, 2018, in Shanghai China.

#2. Still in Shanghai, China, bicycles are pressed into blocks in a dumping site last June 4, 2018.

#3. In an open area in Wuhan, China, accumulated bicycles from bike sharing services have reached the number of 1.03 million.

The bikes are left piled up near a riverbank on July 9, 2018.
