A Singapore company, O-Bike, dumped several hundred of those bikes in Zurich.

If I've seen half a dozen of them in use that's probably aiming high. Granted, that was in the last half year, when it was winter, but still.

You just see them rot away with broken parts torn off, decaying.

The bikes are of such shitty quality (an expert on bikes estimated a price of $50, max, for the parts) and are so heinously ugly that people wouldn't take them for free. Let alone buy them at auction.
