Bike sharing is the hottest trend in China this year. It may have brought convenience to the users, but this new trend has also added problems to people’s life. Recently, government officers from Hefei city in east China’s Anhui Province managed to confiscate over 10,000 irregularly parked shared bikes. /Photo from news.163.com

The concept of bike sharing was widely welcomed by residents when it first came to Hefei. However, managing shared bikes has become more difficult because of the rapidly growing number of bikes and people’s lack of self-discipline. Over 16,000 cases of irregular parking have been reported in Hefei this year, which has increased manpower for urban inspections./Photo from news.163.com

The seized bikes are currently dumped in an abandoned school playground. In aerial photographs, the colored and chaotic scene looks like a beautiful painting. /Photo from news.163.com

All the impounded two-wheelers will be returned to bike-sharing companies after they improve their current bike management system, said a government officer. /Photo from news.163.com
