A fucked up Vélib’ in front of the Eiffel tower — A statement against ‘progress’? At least 3,000 bicycles have been stolen in the first year of operation, many more than had been initially estimated (cite). Some have been stolen and taken to Eastern Europe and Africa. As of August 2009, about 16,000 bikes have been replaced due to vandalism, 8,000 stolen, and 100 pulled from the Seine River (cite). (see Youtube videos made of the bicycles being vandalized).
