This was my favorite line in the Cycling in North Korea article, although it's now finally been removed because it seems to have been too much even for NATOpedia.

As with other reports from North Korea, whether the bicycle-sharing program is intended as a service for actual use by citizens (and not simply propaganda) cannot be confirmed.

We can't possibly know whether nefarious North Korea intends bicycle sharing to be mere propaganda.

The bicycles are obviously props, no one really exists in North Korea but the Kim Jong Un family and the bodies of the Koreans he massacred himself
