A real ‘who done it’: hundreds of bikes were found upside down on Monday night in Leiden, in an innocent but very strange prank.
Leiden is known in the Netherlands as a popular student city, with several higher education institutions like Leiden University and Hogeschool Leiden.
That means there are a lot of young adults who just became legal running around doing weird stuff โ some of which include hitting up a Turkish snackbar at all hours of the night and wearing animal costumes all year round for some reason. ๐ฏ
So, when a bunch of bikes got turned upside down on Janvonssensteeg and its surrounding streets, it’s really not that shocking. ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
People point the finger at students
According to Omroep West, local residents believe it was a student joke that got out of hand. Guests from a cafรฉ called it, “A typical student action.”
“It’s been quite a job turning all these bikes around. So I don’t think it was one person,” said a reporter from Omroep West.
Students living in a nearby Minerva house were questioned about the “crime scene” but said that they didn’t have anything to do with it. ๐
“I think it’s a nice joke, but it wasn’t me,” said one of the Minerva students. The suspects still haven’t been caught, so the case remains unsolved. ๐ฑ
