Reminds me of my first weeks in Japan....

I took my Kona Private Jake with me (nowhere near that bike, but $2-3k) which I would expect to be gone in an instant in the UK. I kept placed my bike on the balcony of the monthly apartment in Roppongi, which was only on the 2nd floor, and would check it at night as I thought someone would nick it

This shortly progressed to leaving it outside when going to the conbini, etc

I'd much prefer bicycles be affordable.

3 years jail time for theft.

I thought the title was an exaggeration but nope

Can do too, Germany, the nicer part of the city here. Left my car with open windows in the summer, with my stuff in it, over night, nothing. Wouldn't do it in the northern city though. My seats would've been gone.

Much like how Vlad the impaler would leave the golden chalice in the city square, daring anyone to take it...

Not my kind of bike personally, but damn that looks nice 😍 the matt black one in the back looks hella stealthy too
