Unlike Old Amsterdam, New Amsterdam lacks charming canals into which rusty bicycles can be tossed out of sight, so our bike-carcasses are left to rot on the street. If you call 311, the Department of Sanitation will pick up the bike within a week or so to recycle it, but in the last 18 months only 40 bikes have been removed. To illustrate that this is just a drop in the graveyard, WNYC's Transportation Nation has created a map of all the city's busted bikes hogging up prime bike-parking real estate based on submissions.

New Bike Project Will Rid NYC Of Abandoned Locked Up Bicycles, With Your Help
Secure Bike Parking For Just $229 A Month (Plus Tax)!
The DOT has made great strides installing more "CityRacks" around town where cyclists can lock their bikes (until they need to be carted off for a presidential motorcade). But despite all that, there's still a desperate need for bike parking in some areas (we're looking at you, Union Square North). And if even if you find a place to lock up, bike theft is still a major problem in this town. That's where private parking garages and parking lots come in (as required by law). Why, for just $229.62 a month, you can have secure, convenient bike parking in a garage on 12th Street, between Fifth Avenue and University Place!
