That's not a generalizable solution.
Some people want more expensive bikes, namely electric bikes that provide more mobility, and to a vastly greater number of people.
It also suggests that there will always be a class of vulnerable bikes available for theft alternatives. The cost is still there, simply borne by 'someone else'.
- btrettel 6y agoI'm not saying this strategy can be implemented by everyone, will work forever, or that it's just. My only claim is that if you implement it now, it'll greatly reduce the probability of theft. Also: My bike is actually fairly expensive but doesn't look so. The new cost was over $1000 at the time as I recall, comparable to a new e-bike. (I bought it used for a fraction of that.) The bike doesn't need to be cheap, just not look attractive to a thief.
