We educate youth not only on riding skills, bike laws, and safety but also on topics including bicycle theft prevention. In support of youth participating in our bike education activities, on April 13 a Kryptonite KryptoLok Standard with 4’ flex cable and keyed U-lock https://www.kryptonitelock.com/en/products/product-information/current-key/001966.html was generously contributed by Bert Low of Allegion https://www.allegion.com/corp/en/index.html. Previously we’ve purchased Kryptonite locks, and we've been very happy with them. We’re grateful to Bert for his prompt, gracious response to this need.

Sand City Police responded to a bicycle theft report from a bike-to-work commuter employed at Costco. She'd chained her bike to a bicycle rack outside Costco, and after work, found her bike missing and chain cut. https://www.kron4.com/news/california/pacific-grove-man-gets-nearly-3-years-in-prison-for-stealing-bike/

#BikeToWork #commuters may also want to urge their employers to provide more secure bike lockers. In Monterey County, private businesses are among those who can apply for free lockers, racks, repair stations, support kits: https://bikemonterey.org/free-bike-racks-lockers-repair-stations-or-skateboardscooter-racks.html

This episode on #BicycleTheft is so engaging that I didn't switch to my "driving podCasts" when I went out.

Bike Index – Darknet Diaries

Have you ever got your bike stolen? In this episode we dive into the world of stolen bikes. Who does it and where do the bikes go? We talk with Bryan from Bike Index who investigates this.

An interesting thing about Japan was that at first it looked like they were so law-abiding that they didn't even lock their bikes... But then I looked closer and saw that the bikes were locked just with a ring through the rear wheel. So the difference is perhaps that there are fewer trucks, so less certainty that someone will toss your bike in the back and take it off to a chop shop?

Because of the fear of #BicycleTheft, I have resisted for many years buying a new high quality bike. But now I have the case where I am riding purely for fitness out and back a maximum of about 1 mi from my front door without the need to lock up my bike anywhere, so I feel like I can finally invest (money and emotionally) in a better #bicycle. My platonic ideal would be a steel singlespeed, possibly a mixte, with road fitness geometry. Not too racy, not too twitchy, but not too relaxed.
Neat! Now I'm even more paranoid about where I will park my bike. Why can’t we have nice things?

Yet another angle grinder-resistant bicycle lock enters the market. Conspicuous by their absence is erstwhile market leader Kryptonite.

Can the new SkunkLock Carbon beat Hiplok, Litelok & Abus?

When my father was young, I guess it was in the late 1950s, he went from the northwest of Germany to Italy by bicycle. His bicycle got stolen there and he had to take the train home. Just in case you thought #bikepacking or #BicycleTheft where a new thing.
