From this shot it looks impossible to get a bike from somewhere in the middle, but I assume there are paths? I'd love to see a few more pictures

This is Eindhoven Centraal, in the Netherlands.
Yes there is lanes. It's just a small lot on the south side of the station.There is actually far more parking at this station than the image would imply.
The parking lot on the north side is quite a bit larger (it has double height racks, and also recently got expanded). There is also another small lot on the south side, and two more underground bike parking garages as well.They are also planning to rework the area around the station, the plans for which include a further expansion of the underground parking garages

Yeah we have lanes normally. Still can be a bitch if you have to wiggle it free from 5 surrounding bikes. At stations or busy areas there are also racks to put your bikes in and on top off, so we can use double the space for bikes. I am from the Netherlands and have lived in student cities, and Amsterdam.

Whose the asshole that double parked?

Some of them might have been four wheelers when they were young, you never know!

Eindhovuhhhhhhh

I wanted to move to the Netherlands because of their biking culture. But citizenship is difficult and I don't speak Dutch.
-
Plenty of people here dont speak dutch, that is only is a problem if you also don't speak English. Citizenship is difficult, but if you can find a job your employer will help you with the paperwork. There are some fields with high demand for labour.

I'll do my research. Thank you for the info.

Where is this? The amount of bikes suggests NL but it looks more like Germany…

It's at Eindhoven Central Station in the Netherlands

Eindhôve de gekste!

If those were cars, it would require the land area of a small country to squeeze them all in!
That assumes they are regular sized cars, not the Ford Tanks you see every other person driving in North America. 😵

Do my eyes deceive me, or are they just sitting there, not locked up to bike racks?
-
There is bike racks for most spots. I personally prefer parking at the north side though.

But like... Some people do leave their bikes there completely unlocked?? I live in a city in the US that has decent (by US standards) bike infrastructure, and everyone I know that has a moderately decent bike is pretty paranoid about where they park it. No one would ever leave a bike unlocked, and even many bike racks aren't considered secure enough for anything other than a total beater bike.

I saw something like this next to the train station in Antwerpen Berchem. I always wondered if most of those bike where still in active use, or abandonned. How do they make sure that abamdonned bike don't clutter the space for eternity?
At my university, from time to time, the administration attached notes at the bikes, marking them for being removed until a specified date.
Yes, that system in also in place in Eindhoven and enforced heavily at the station.
If they suspect that your bike has been abandoned it gets a sticker on the frame warning you when it will be removed at a certain date.
If it isnt abandoned you can just remove the sticker and that will be the sign that it's still owned and used. Otherwise it gets taken to a depot, and sold after a grace period of (I believe) a year.
