I'd think Amsterdam would be smart to put dumpsters near the canal with a sign saying "Abandon your bike here" It would save having to fish them out of the canal.
I’m wondering if they’ve found any human bodies yet. I’m sure if they ignored the bikes eventually they would be piled up out of the water. A the claw should be magnetized so smaller items could also be removed.
Mauricio Freisleben Because they can cause damage to (tour)boats and people falling into the canal (usually drunks). Besides some canals have yearly swim competitions for charities.
