The Riga Municipal Police (RVPP) explained why they cannot mass-remove abandoned bicycles from the city's streets. The reason was a recent segment on the television program *Bez Tabu*, which criticized city services. As the police clarified, according to the current Cabinet of Ministers regulations, a decision to forcibly relocate a bicycle can only be made if it has been **on the roadway or street** for an extended period and is clearly not in use. This does not apply to any public places. Even in such cases, a bicycle can only be evacuated using special transport and delivered to a specialized parking lot, with which the municipality must have a corresponding contract. Currently, there is no such contract in Riga — neither for bicycles nor for other forms of micromobility. Unlike cars, which can be deemed abandoned after evacuation and transferred for disposal after 30 days, such a procedure is not provided for bicycles by legislation. Due to existing gaps in legal regulation, the municipal police, together with the Department of Urban Environment and Mobility, sought clarifications from the Ministry of Transport, the State Revenue Service, and the Ministry of Climate and Energy. All agencies confirmed that current legislation does not allow for damaged or unusable bicycles to be transferred to the municipality's disposal, and the norms regulating the handling of abandoned vehicles do not apply to bicycles and other forms of micromobility. The police also refuted claims that Riga has allegedly turned into a "city of abandoned bicycles." According to RVPP, there are currently only seven administrative cases initiated related to long-abandoned bicycles. The municipal police acknowledge that their ability to address the problem is currently limited. For a full evacuation of abandoned bicycles, it is necessary to both amend the existing legislation and conclude a contract for their storage and further disposal.
