The Brompton... what, if anything, is it locked to? I'm amazed that it can be safe to leave that for more than two minutes in Amsterdam. Or is it yours and you had one simply put it there while taking the photo?

The Brompton is mine just sat there while I take the photo. And before I go into the supermarket.

At work they provided some very nice Sheffield stands, under two very nice shelters. 

Unfortunately in one shelter the stands, in three rows of two, were placed parallel to the shelter exit.  It was possible to reach the stands at the back when the shelter was empty, otherwise, only the stands next to the exit could be used - other than by lifting your bike over ones already there.

The line between parked and discarded is very blurry...
