Who remembers the White Bike Project in Glasgow 2010

Based on the famous Amsterdam scheme in the late 1960s to release white bicycles onto the streets for public sharing, a Glasgow art group has launched 50 free white-painted bikes and immediately lost 30 of them.

The White Bike Plan was supposed to be a highlight of the Glasgow International Art Festival, making a statement about anti-greed and healthy living.

But, according to Herald Scotland, it would appear that some of the good people of the city have not completely grasped the ethos of the gesture with around 30 bikes still missing a week after the event ended.

The £5,000 publicly funded project, based on the work of the 1960s Dutch anarchist movement Provo, saw the bikes fitted with identical combination locks and the number published openly on the internet.
