Kyoto Bicycle Anti-Theft Sticker

towing sticker kyoto自転車にツーロック!

This colorful sticker was attached with a rubber band to a bike illegally parked along Kawabata Dori near Demachiyanagi Station in Kyoto.

In fact, each of the 30 or so bikes parked along a railing that separated the sidewalk from the Kamo River below was decorated with such stickers.

From right to left, the sticker reads "This bike is being targeted!"

Below that, a bicycle is in the crosshairs.

The left column states:

"Let's definitely lock up twice."

The police campaign is urging cyclists to use two locks. It is a bit strange, as this area sees a lot of foot traffic. The bikes are taking up precious space on the sidewalk.

The usual stickers - warning against parking here at all - have been absent for a while.
