Parking fail!

i saw this last friday, and i just had to stop and take a picture. im just wondering whether it is a joke, or if someone really thought to securely lock his/her bike to something....? thats most definitely not in the book of how to properly attach your bike to something immovable to prevent it from getting stolen..... 
look at the mess of bikes behind it. it looks like that about anywhere in the netherlands. most of the bikes have been left there, are forgotten, not needed or not working anymore. problem is; which ones are those?! they take up valuable bike parking space and that can be quite frustrating. at some places they tag all bikes, and after a set period of time, all the bikes that still have the tag are removed. then the entire process starts over again... the above bike at least does not have to be cut loose :D

A bit of a joke i guess.

Ha,ha, a rather stupid action of the owner.

Based on some of the amazingly stupid (absent-minded) things I do sometimes, I'll bet this was done by someone of the grey-haired set. "Oh, here's something to chain it to." No thought of whether it's sensible, much less secure.
