In my country you’ll get run over if you ride bike in city.
We have some amount of those in Belgrade, Serbia.
In Warsaw we have it in a few places
None in Finland. At least as far as I know.
These goalposts explain where Ronaldo got to practice his football skills.
Seems stupid, one cyclist will have slightly higher comfort, rest behind him will not. It adds another obstacle for no good reason. I smell a scam with public spending or euro funds.
Seems quite useless to help one random bicyclist who arrives first. What if there are twenty bikes?
uhmm, whats the point? you can stand while on your bike easily enough
There are a few of those in Copenhagen. They’re confortable, it’s nice to have particularly in places where the lights take some time to turn, but then again it’s only gonna be used by the frist or first 2 bikes in the queue.
I’m I too dutch to not understand these things? Why can’t you just stand?
Why is it so big…?
There’s only room for one person anyway, so why is it so long? No way two people can put their hand/foot on it at the same time.
I like the idea but the execution is kinda silly.
I don’t see the point of adding facilities that cost taxpayers, and are ugly and in the way, for WHAT?
To prevent a cyclist from putting one foot on the ground?
But soon we will also have to pay someone to wipe our ass when we go to the bathroom?
The futility of chasing useless things, the laziness, the stupidity of focusing on insignificant elements and not focusing on what really matters is becoming a problem.
Do an automatic shit picker, I’ve got the city full of dog shit.
If you actually need this, it means that you have your bike seat/saddle set too high. Ideally your feet can just touch the ground in a convenient way to stand still without tilting too much.
It does look convenient though, so let’s introduce them in more places!
I’ve never seen these in the U.K.
Why did the same one get photographed 4 times? XD
I can confirm there are in Poland.
In my city in Poland we have them too. Different colour though 🙂

Never seen before here
Pretty standard in Sweden.
I’ve never seen this
Never seem those in the Netherlands, and there’s no shortage of bikes.
Why are these even built? I understand what their purpose is, but what’s wrong with the alternative; placing your feet on the ground? It’s free
They did that as [bench in Berlin](https://steuerzahler.de/aktuelles/detail/kreuzberger-fahrradtresen/). Nobody knew it was there, nobody knew what it was for. But at least it costs a lot for a shitty “thingy” (8300 EUR).
Sorry, the article is in German. But I would recommend using deepl.com instead of google translate.
Also normal in Denmark. Though, they are normally dark green.
No, the rest of us here in NL either have:
– a leg to stand on
– enough wheels to not need to fall over
That would require that cyclists stop at red lights – lol.
No, because we have legs.
That’s actually brilliant
OP, this is a pilot project installed *yesterday* in Lisbon. And there’s only two of them. https://www.lisboa.pt/atualidade/noticias/detalhe/estruturas-pousa-pe-apoiam-utilizadores-de-bicicleta

Yes, I have seen those in Oslo
Yeah, [Berlin started experimenting](https://berliner-abendblatt.de/kiez-news/pankow/berlin-pankow-neue-haltestangen-fuer-radfahrer-id104838) with them at a few selected crossings.
