Free bike plan pits hippies against light-fingered neds

The free-wheeling hippy spirit of 1960s Amsterdam is coming to the streets of Glasgow next month as 50 free-to-use white bicycles will be left dotted around the city as part of an anarchic art installation.

The organisers of the White Bike Plan say that they have no fear of the city’s wilder elements making off with the bikes and believe “karma” will track down any thieves.
