Just to compare, this is the utopian dream for Toronto:
There are approx. 18 cars and trucks in that image.
They are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY more space, and are causing traffic.
Still, we keep saying, “give us more of this, please!”.
Insanity or stupidity?
Would love to own a moped, but it stands out too much in a sea of cars to not get stolen
Apparently, using a cover while it’s locked up can significantly reduce theft.
This is the strategy that “Cargo bike momma” uses with her cargo bike, in New York City… and she’s a professor of criminology, so I trust her judgment when it comes to these things! LOL
I believe it has to do with the fact that it slows the thief down, so they consider it too risky
Yup. It causes the bike to blend into the surroundings, so it’s not as noticeable. But it creates a barrier that thieves just don’t want to deal with.
The covers thatI have even feature large grommets for your lock or a chain to go through. You couldn’t even peek under the cover to see what’s there, unless you removed the lock.
