Unbreakable Bonds, Kryptonite’s blog, posted last week on the Top 10 Worst Cities for Bicycle Theft. NYC is number one and Seattle is 8th.
I’ve def had a few worried moments with Bettie, that’s a big investment for a crack head to ride off with and use a cable lock, plus disabling the motor. Bettie usually attracts a crowd so that’s a deterrent. And, as Mark V noted in his post, in Japan theft isn’t a problem and we learned that as well in Beijing. Thanks to Scott for the tip on the post.
