Series of postcards documenting cycling culture in Amsterdam
When your bicycle is in the way, parked for too long, neglected or somewhere it is not allowed to be, law enforcement officers may remove it. A picture is taken, uploaded to their website (verlorenofgevonden.nl) and the bicycle will be moved to their depot outside the city. There, more than half of the 100.000 removed bicycles are left behind each year.
This publication is part of the ever-growing archive of Fietsdepot Amsterdam, collecting the endless stream of bicycles taken by law enforcement officers on/off the streets, shot during removal.
