ABOUT 1,000 shared bikes that have been impounded are piled up in Antuo Hill Park in Futian District, according to yesterday’s Southern Metropolis Daily.

The Futian District Urban Management Bureau said in response that the shared bikes were impounded because of traffic violations and they are being stored there temporarily. The bikes will be “dealt with” when the city’s transportation commission makes a final decision, the bureau said.

According to recent online posts by some residents, a large number of abandoned shared bikes have taken over the hill peak of Antuo Hill Park.

The bikes belong to eight operators, four of which have already closed down operations in Shenzhen.

Antuo Hill Park was officially established in 2005. After several rounds of rescheduling, the park still remains closed to residents.

The district urban management bureau said that they have sent out notices to the shared bike companies requiring them to claim the bikes in a designated period of time.

According to the bureau, Mobike, ofo and Qingju Bikes under Didi Chuxing have taken back most of their seized bikes, but the companies that are experiencing operation problems or facing bankruptcy have not picked up their bikes from the park.

The bureau said it would deal with the unclaimed bikes after receiving further instructions from the city’s transportation commission. (Zhang Qian)
