I say this as someone who doesn't own a car and bikes or transits everywhere, but you really don't think there's problems with the bikes here? When I drive around Seattle I see these bikes just tossed anywhere. On the sidewalk, in the grass between the sidewalk and street, parked on corners with busy crosswalks, leaned against bus stops. It's like we've all accepted that it's ok to leave our junk just lying anywhere we please.

It definitely had some initial problems.
