Actionable ideas against bike theft.
Bike theft is a persistent barrier to sustainable urban mobility. It’s the second biggest reason people hesitate to cycle, and 20% of cyclists abandon biking after a theft. Almost every cyclist has a theft victim among their close friends.
Most cities are stepping up with cycling policies that tackle theft—think secure parking, campaigns promoting quality locks, and more. But crafting effective anti-theft strategies takes time and resources many small teams simply don’t have. That’s where a.bike steps in.
