SFW.
Quote: What [people] may not realise is that bike theft is endemic here [in
the cycling heaven of Holland. Says it all, doesn’t it]. Last year, more
than 86,000 bikes were reported stolen in the Netherlands, up 1,000
compared to the year before, and 10,000 more than in 2022, according to
police figures. Authorities say a rise in reports may have contributed to
this.
Most bikes stolen are stripped for parts or sold on. My e-cargo bike cost nearly €5,000 (£4,200) - more than our old car which I sold. Unquote
You should have stayed with the car, luv, no-one steals such low-value
wheels, and you don’t need the sunshine to do your broadcasting.
