I might be too american, but I'm more concerned about leaving a bike outside unlocked without a fear to have it stolen. How does that work?
They are actually locked. In the Netherlands bikes usually have ring locks attached to the frame that lock just the rear wheel. It's way more convenient, you can quickly lock your bike and pop into a store. It's of course less safe, so especially in larger cities and at train stations people do lock their bike to something.
Example of lock ring lock: https://www.google.com/search?q=axa+ring+lock&biw=412&bih=712&dpr=2.63
I am an american but i think it works like this:
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.
Those are all locked. This is in from the Netherlands. The most bicycle happy and bicycle friendly country in the world. So much so thar they have bicycle parking problems.
In the Netherlands they get stolen all the time as well. Locked or not. We have bike thieves that just load the whole bike including lock into a van and drive off with it.
Either that, or if attached to a pole/bike rack with a chain or bar lock, they'll just pull out the old angle grinder and go to work.
Happens everywhere, happens in broad daylight, happens when there's people around, and usually doesn't raise a lot of suspicion because "might be someone who's lost their keys".
Since there's 4 bicycles for every person living in the Netherlands, the key strategy is just making sure your bicycle is a little less fancy than the one locked up next to yours. Thieves tend to go for the ones they can resell for the most amount of money. In other words: Hide in the numbers.
Key strategy, hah. I do that too, parking my bike next to fancier one.
Leuke naam, ik krijg er honger van.
Also these kinda lock are really common here. I could pick then up and walk away with them yeah, but they where locked
Here it comes paired with a surveillance state that will catch you stealing a bicycle and have the cops waiting for you at your home before you can even reach it.
Nah. In Copenhagen we lock them like this, too, but you'd never get the police to check video to maybe identify the theif. Rape or violence, sure, but not bike theft.
I'm not in Copenhagen, however.
Sorry, no, of course not. It wasn't my impression it was like that in NL.
