Which Crop Works Best?

I re-discovered an SD card that had lots of pix from our trip to China in October 2017. I had processed more than 700 keepers and got distracted. Now I am back looking at the "second tier".
Dirty dishes outside a restaurant in a Beijing hutong might not be a prime candidate for photgraphy, but I thought it might have possibilities when I shot it. The old bike may or may not be interesting.
Three different crops. Which appeals? "None" is a fine answer. Thanks.

I have shot trash before. However, it was colorful trash from a weaving loom. Not my cup of tea.

Crop out the bicycle. It serves little to no interest to the photo. The color is nice, but distracts from the garbage.

I think the bike has greatest potential, color, shape, try to focus center bike blur garbage a little. Just my opinion

#3. You can't crop out the bike, since components will be visible in the frame.

I may be wrong but because the bike is sandwiched (pardon the analogy) between garbage bags in front and the garbage containers in back I think it is also garbage and adds some color.

It's the first picture. I love it just as is as it tells a story. It is reality.
I am glad you took it and post it here.

Can't quite figure out what you are trying to say here if anything. Does not do anything for me

#1 for me - the colorful bike is a natural spot for my gaze to rest after following the leading line of crates, plus adds context.
