The Christiania tricycle is the vehicle most sought after by Copenhagen thieves. Recently they have been resorting to sawing off trees to unshackle tricycles and whisk them off on a van. €1000 is the second hand value of a Christiania tricycle, and even the honest Danes often fall to the temptation of buying from shady “parents with overgrown children”. [The truth is that most people don't sell their Christiania when the children grow up, because by then it has become an indispensable family vehicle]
The Copenhagen Transport Department is launching a pilot project to improve overnight parking of the tricycles. Following an installation at the Danish Design Centre [above picture], a shelter shaped like a car and placed on a single car parking space will house four tricycles. Mikael at Copenhagenize has a good description with visuals, such as the image below:
