It's definitely a culture thing. In Sydney people seem to think it's fun to trash the bikes, throw them in rivers or just render them unusable.

That's what happened when my town in USA tried it years ago. The bikes were all destroyed or stolen and cut up and sold for scrap within a few weeks.

I've lived in both cities and the abuse is the problem. Its a toss up as to which city was worse, DC or Sydney.

It might be a culture thing, but looking at the comments here it seems to occur in every city.

Not a specific city problem, a humanity problem.
