Cycling boom triggers crime spree
QUOTE:
"The booming trend for cycling has made expensive bikes a target. Two Beverley bike shops were targeted on Friday. Wilsons Wheels is counting the cost after the Grovehill Road shop was broken into at 6am on Friday. Beverley Car and Cycles, in Norwood, was the target for an attempted break-in on the same night. Both shops have been targeted previously. Nathan Wilson, owner of Wilsons Wheels, said a witness tried to pursue a suspect escaping with an orange £400 Diamondback mountain bike and expensive equipment. Alarms had been triggered when the window was smashed. Mr Wilson said: "You don't expect it in Beverley - it's the second-best place to live in the country but there seems to be a high crime spree at the moment." http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/59-bi...ail/story.html |

It's not because of huge demand, it's because the idiot cyclists are willing to pay well over the odds for the latest trendy child's toy and are serial law breakers who don't mind buying bent gear. Doesn't paint a very good picture of cyclists in general. |
