Secure Bikes All The Time

As the Long-term Bicycle Plan 2017 to 2022 indicated, the government is keen on finding areas for more expansive parking.

This is especially an important thing to note for travelers.

Most bikes for rent will come with a lock around the wheel and an additional lock to attach the frame to a stand or bike rack. Approximately 466,000 bicycles were believed to have been stolen in 2019—a reduction from the 2017 figure of 560,000. Still, this is a staggering number!
