EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captured by photographer Johannes Eisele showcases the aftermath of China's bike-sharing revolution. The image, taken with a drone on May 10,2018, reveals an overwhelming number of abandoned public shared bicycles occupying a lot in Shanghai. China implemented national guidelines in 2017 to regulate bike-sharing operations and nurture this emerging industry. While hailed as a transport revolution, it also faced mounting complaints due to the accumulation of millions of bikes cluttering city streets. The graphic composition of this photograph highlights the multicolored sea of bicycles that once symbolized convenience and eco-friendly urban transportation. However, now they stand idle and forgotten, representing both the success and challenges faced by this innovative initiative. From a high angle perspective, we witness rows upon rows of parked bicycles resembling an abstract painting or puzzle pieces waiting to be rearranged. This striking visual emphasizes how quickly trends can change in our ever-evolving world. Eisele's drone picture not only captures an offbeat scene but also serves as a reminder that progress often comes with unforeseen consequences. It prompts us to reflect on how societies adapt to new technologies while addressing their unintended impacts on our environment and daily lives.
