Bikes in Linz 2 - parking

I've never seen bicycles parked messily like we saw in Japan. It seems that they love their bikes and so that's why they don't leave them messily here and their on streets.

こっちでは、日本で見るようにごっちゃり自転車が停めてあるということはありません。多分みんな自分の自転車を大事にしていて、路上に適当に置いていくなんて考えられないんじゃないかな。

Of course a "ママチャリ"(stable bikes designed for Japanese mothers' heavy use) is useful and its cost performance is awful. But we tend to luck our love for them... We don't so much care about them even if they are stolen or removed. So, we park park park here and there and make streets messy. images of "ママチャリ"

もちろん日本のママチャリは便利でコストパフォーマンスも最高なのですが、愛を失いがち。。。盗まれたり、撤去されたりしてもそこまで何も感じないんですよね。で、停める停める、違法駐輪だらけになると。

mmm. I think once a person get his/her beloved bike, then they stop parking it messily. Sorry, I've not got any concrete solution yet...

うーん、愛すべき自転車と一度出会えば、違法駐輪しようなんて気にもならないんだけどね。まだこれといった解決策はまだ思いつかず。

I'll continue reporting the bicycle situation in Europe :-)
