In my experience, there is not enough proper bike parking in Dutch cities to avoid “wild parking”. A space in a bike rack will almost always be preferred to a random pole.
Indeed. Even though there's a lot of bike racks. I feel that we need at least three times more. Also, many people have 2 or 3 bikes parked in different stations and other bikes get abandoned in the parking place. I think they should start checking that bikes are not parked in a spot more than 30 days.
