Its because you were alone.
Paris was well known to be unsafe even for a mechanical bike.
With the CoViD measures, many Parisians got equipped with high end electric and non-electric bikes and the number of them exploded.
Now that there are other pricy bikes everywhere, the risk that your bike will be targeted by a robber has highly reduced.
Moreover, cops and random pedestrian are also more aware.
Ultra qualitative data, would be better to find more quantitative to build the case but without more info, it is how I feel it.
- Scoundreller 6y agoI felt the same in Toronto (just have a shit bike), but the bike boom this summer led to somebody stealing my out-of-true rear wheel with extremely worn freewheel, and peeling the tape off my cracked seat revealing that, yes, it is cracked, and taking it anyway. When people are out for a $5-$10 return for crack at 4AM, nothing is safe.
