Is this bicycle being discarded or abandon?. Actually this bike wasn't an abandoned bike. It is a rental bike and when the user has finished using it or reached his destination, he may leave the bike anywhere he wants to. It must be locked and the rental company using the GPS technology would trace the bike and retrieve it.
The first time I saw a bike like this, I thought it was being abandoned.
In Singapore there are a few companies doing this kind of bicycle rental. It's quite popular and not expensive to rent. A user would pay $1 for 30 minutes of usage plus a small deposit.
Someday, I would like to rent one and blog about it.
