    Quote: What [people] may not realise is that bike theft is endemic here [in
    the cycling heaven of Holland. Says it all, doesnrCOt it]. Last year, more
    than 86,000 bikes were reported stolen in the Netherlands, up 1,000
    compared to the year before, and 10,000 more than in 2022, according to
    police figures. Authorities say a rise in reports may have contributed to
    this.
    Most bikes stolen are stripped for parts or sold on. My e-cargo bike cost nearly re45,000 (-u4,200) - more than our old car which I sold. Unquote

    You should have stayed with the car, luv, no-one steals such low-value
    wheels, and you donrCOt need the sunshine to do your broadcasting.
