You had me till the BuY AnOthER OnE, Pay me imaginary strawman. I do love bikes though, so do the fuckers that keep taking mine.

You have enough money for a pair of bolt cutters.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

Yeah Yeah I do have some of those, where you parked again you say?

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

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

[–] uis 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

10x? What car can be so cheap?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Ironically, a stole one

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.
