It may look like a painting,This Ain't Cops XXX (2010) but this is actually what 10,000 bicycles being dumped into one space looks like.
Tens of thousands of shared bikes have been impounded by authorities, and left at a playground in the Chinese city of Hefei.
SEE ALSO: People stole nearly all of the bikes belonging to a shared-bike startup, so it had to close downIt's simply the latest chapter in the recent shared bike phenomenon, which has seen a surge of bikes scattered around cities from service providers which hope users will hop on one of theirs.
In many of these cities, the bikes tread the line between public and private good, in a way -- some cities see them as littering the sidewalk, and impound them, while others have agreed to let the bikes be, in hopes of encouraging green transportation.
According to a report by Chinese state media Global Times, the playground was originally owned by a school that had later vacated the premises.

Bikes which were found violating parking rules were also detained and dumped into these grounds.
According to the Global Times, there are at least 10,000 bikes dumped in this bicycle graveyard.

"Shared bikes are supposed to promote sharing and save the environment, but then it's caused this instead," said one user on Weibo.
"This is a waste of resources," said another.
"No wonder I can't find any shared bikes in Hefei," one quipped.
According to the Global Times, Hefei's City Urban Management Bureau will begin returning the bikes to the respective companies.
