AWC April 2018 Going Dutch

Abandoned Bikes in The Hague
After conducting a successful test in eight
neighborhoods to remove abandoned bikes,
the policy will be expanded citywide so that
municipal enforcement teams will patrol
the streets checking for abandoned bicycles
in all of The Hague’s neighborhoods starting
on April 1. So far nearly 1,500 abandoned
bikes have been removed from the
test areas and brought to the Bicycle Depot
Haaglanden. Less than 2% of these bikes
have been collected by their rightful owners
indicating that the bikes were no longer in
use and were dumped.

the chronological development of his work
with the initial results appearing in this exhibition.
