Guarding precious goods

As the sun comes out in Munich, so do the bikes left on the street: locked to poles, street signs and just secured at the tire so that they can't be ridden away.  Munich is a very safe city-the only crime I hear about is an occasional bike theft (or as in the case of the Hub-the theft of the light on his bike--the nerve!) or bikes being tipped over by those that have been over-served as they stumble home.

So I thought that it was cute that this tiny bike had so much protection...considering that it could easily be lifted up and taken away....

Made me wonder if a lesson in taking care of one's things was being taught.  All in all, a good practice to start early, I guess!
