Last year, bike sharing took off in China, with dozens of bike-share companies quickly flooding city streets with millions of brightly colored rental bicycles.

However, the rapid growth vastly outpaced immediate demand and overwhelmed Chinese cities, where infrastructure and regulations were not prepared to handle a sudden flood of millions of shared bicycles.

Riders would park bikes anywhere, or just abandon them, resulting in bicycles piling up and blocking already-crowded streets and pathways.

Vast piles of abandoned bicycles have become a familiar sight in many big cities.

As some of the companies who jumped in too big and too early have begun to fold, their huge surplus of bicycles can be found collecting dust in vast vacant lots.

hmmmm so why they don't just unlock them and export to Africa for use.

not everyone can afford car or even afford to pay commercial tp daily, at least this could ease means of transportation for urban/rural area.

Ohhh boy! And you will be surprised that the quality or specs of those abandoned bicycles isn't anywhere near the one brought into Nigeria because Nigeria is a dumping site.
