@homerhomer@fosstodon.org @sightlineinstitute@masthead.social @andersem@mastodon.social Bicycle theft is a problem in cities where there are more bikes. I looked up data from the Kryptonite bike lock company that shows close correlation between more bikes and more bike theft. Portland comes in 3rd, after #LA and #NYC. I thought it was interesting #car theft is quite high in #PDX too which doesn't correlate with c,ar ownership. #Portland, and all #USA cities need a ton more safe bike routes -- and secure bike parking! #BikeTooter
