This is the parking sign for bicycles. There are two things that have more population than the Dutch itself. One is mobile phone (or cellphone or handphone) and the other is bicycle. On average, each Dutch people owns two bicycles, one for daily routine work and the other for leisure/sport. The latter is mostly a very expensive one. Stealing bicycles are very common in Holland.
