Scrapbook Entry 20: Lock your bike properly


Lock your bike properly

This picture reminds me a lot of my home town Heidelberg.
Heidelberg is a relatively small city where you can do everything by bike. One doesn't need a car in order to get anywhere in the city. That is why, especially the students use bikes primarely for their transportation. Everytime when there is a huge student campus party somewhere in Heidelberg, students take their bike instead of there cars because they most of them want to drink alcohol (Despite the fact that riding one's bike under the influence of alcohol has the same legal consequences as driving your car, students feel safer by doing the former one).
So usually, when the parties are over, some of the students who came one foot or used public transportaion to get to the party, try to find unlocked bikes to get home as quick as possible. One assumes it hard to believe but it happens more than one expects that one finds a bike that is totally unlocked or locked in a way you see on the pictureho knows, but this might be due to the fact that the student who tried to lock it was already drunk.
