The value of all those discarded bikes is probably more than the GDP of many
countries.

Subject: Re: OT: Bike Sharing in China
Those bike-sharing schemes have arrived in London and other parts of the UK
now, but luckily they are being regulated a little more effectively. I
haven't used one, but they seem to be quite popular. I think on balance
they're a good thing as they help to break the dominance of the internal
combustion engine and the private car in cities, and a step towards
eliminating the ICE altogether and removing all but essential public
transport and deliveries from cities.
In Paris the official bike share scheme has extended to offer e-bikes and
e-cars.
