I think car owners are only just getting an idea of what it has felt like to own a decent bike forever.
Imagine if a car left locked on an urban street for a couple of nights was almost guaranteed to be stolen.
Imagine that most people you knew just didn’t buy new cars because they were too likely to be stolen.
Imagine that you had to park in in a garage, and could only visit friends with a garage to park it in.
Imagine you intentionally painted silly colours so people wouldn’t take it.

I wish I could go get a new cargo bike, but the delema is: If I actually use it all the time it’ll get stolen, if I have to drag it into every building I visit then I won’t use it.
So it’s just not rational to ride what I actually want to ride.

@paige This is my fear as well. My current bike is a very old standard and it's getting hard to find tires for, so I'd like to get myself a nice new bike. Potentially a belt-drive one. But I know the moment I do, it'll get stolen. I would've gotten a Bixi subscription this year except they refused my credit card with no explanation. :/
