Well on the positive side they made a clean get-away and did not contribute to global warming! It happens here too and also shopping trolleys!

Stellar documentation of this practice. I can't imagine leaving them to ruin. Bad enough to steel them but why not just dump them someplace where someone else can find them and either return them or re-use them? I hate waste!

It's a crazy world, we have this in London too, when push comes to shove, and all this crap in our rivers and canals messes up the PH of the water, they'll be the first to go whinging and whining when the taxes rise to clean up the rivers, nice slice of urban life well captured.

Yes it does look like the drowning of the bikes. Makes for an interesting document of life though.

There are those with brains; and then, there are the brainless.

But it's a fantastic photograph, and the bikes being half in and half out of the water makes for an amazing image.
