Authorities have confiscated a total of 922 bicycles and 43 electric bikes across Abu Dhabi as part of a crackdown on abandoned and improperly parked bikes that obstruct pedestrian pathways and distort the city's appearance. The campaign, led by Abu Dhabi City Municipality in collaboration with Emirates Auction, targeted areas including Al Dana, Al Hosn, Al Mushrif, Zayed Port, Al Reem Island, Saadiyat Island, Al Maryah Island, and Hudayriyat. In addition to the seizures, fines were also issued for motorcycles left abandoned across the emirate. The municipality said the initiative is part of its broader efforts to enhance the urban environment. “The campaign aims to preserve the aesthetic and civilized appearance of all areas within the city’s geographical scope, contributing to the happiness and quality of life of all residents,” the municipality stated. Municipal authorities emphasized that such campaigns will continue throughout the year to ensure compliance and maintain Abu Dhabi’s image as a clean and organized city. ICA/Expat Media
