I walked past this on my corner last week and it just cracked me up...someone had placed a sign saying "Standing Bicycles is forbidden" on this cluster of bikes. You see these signs everywhere in Munich posted on the buildings in the city...typically on facades of apartment buildings and businesses. But, it often doesn't work. Bikes are parked EVERYWHERE in the city. We are lucky that we have a special room for them in the basement of our building, and many other buildings nearby have a little spot for them in the courtyard. With all of the people concentrated into small spaces, though, there are many more bikes than room available to house them so you see bikes locked to any available pole or fence or just locked standing on the sidewalk. I guess someone got a little sick of seeing them everywhere and decided to make their feelings known...
