  You have enough money for a pair of bolt cutters.

    If you’re big enough, you just need money for a balaclava.

  Think of it that way - whoever stole your bike was probably more happy to get it than you are sad to lose it. The total happiness in the world increased. So, whatever.

    There it is.

    The stupidest thing I’ll read all day.

        Thank you; I had no idea.

        I take it that the idea is that it’s supposed to be stupid?

  I think the point was to contrast this with cars. Having your car stolen is 10x worse than having your bike stolen

    10x? What car can be so cheap?

  • kryptonite U-lock.
  • locking skewers for the tires, gears, seat and handle bars.
  • an ugly color

  At this point, they’ll need an angle grinder to get anything valuable off the bike. It’s more expensive but so long its not the standard of ever biker, bike thieves’ll target easier bikes to steal off.

  It’s true although it sucks. You could have several bikes stolen a year and it’s still cheaper than a car.

  It’s, once again, comes with infrastructure. When I moved to Germany from the country with no bike infrastructure, I only thought of a bike as an expensive stuff, but here I bought a used commuter for 40 Euro and it’s fucking great. I love it, but if it gets stolen, I would be mildly frustrated and buy another one of those for 40 Euro the next day.
