I am an american but i think it works like this:

  • streets are bike friendly
  • more reasonable to just bike everywhere so everyone does
  • city may provide free bikes to use
  • more demand for bikes, more competition, less expensive bikes
  • less bike theft in general as a result
  • these aren't $4k+ bespoke bikes
  • something something socialized healthcare something something better labor laws something something higher taxes but a better quality of life. Why steal? Be happy.

We don't have these things here. Except for expensive bikes, that's all we have. That's why I got these boltcutters...

Well of course, how else do people get expensive bikes?

Haha no, bikes get stolen all the time and the cheap ones are easiest to sell. These bikes are in fact locked

We call them junkie bikes because you buy them from your local junkie for 10/20€ and don't ask where it's from.
