Agreed theft is always a issue, there are ways to try and mitigate it. Proper storage, dedicated parking, lighting, cameras or security. Not all all 100% full proof though, not going to lie. Cars even get broken into when all these above listed items are in place.
Side note, I know in Europe it’s common to have a secondary “beater bike” in the city, you ride your bike to the train in your local town, then grab your beater in the city train station.
Could not be more correct. Public spaces and transit, cities need to be for the people that live there. Not for suburban commuters
I just wish cycle theft wasn’t as prevalent as it is. If journalists can track down the shipping of stolen cycles, cops should be able to stop it.

Trouble is when you need to keep replacing your beater bike…
