The Abandoned Bicycle by Wilfried Claus
The concrete-dominated, unadorned railway underpass is part of the station in Pulheim, a medium-sized town west of Cologne. The numerous mounted bike racks are hardly used despite the morning rush hour, obviously because the atmosphere here is quite uncomfortable and parking the bikes in this remote place is hardly theft-proof. A planning mistake on the part of the city? The individual bicycle makes the abandonment of the place clear.
