Lately, theft seems to be happening more and more… I really don’t think this is someone else’s problem.
\nSure, the thieves are wrong, but I think the victims bear some responsibility too.
\nMost people think it won’t happen to them… (I’m guilty of that too).
\nI wish people would take security seriously… If you have any spare cash, consider renting a garage or
\nasking to park on a friend’s property….
\nEvery now and then I do the math: garage rental (around $200 a month in Tokyo) \u00d7 12 = $2,400 a year.
\nBut if you park on the street, it rusts, gets stolen, needs washing every time it rains\u2014when you factor in all that hassle, it kind of breaks even?
\nA lot of people don’t have spare time. Your precious weekend time is meant for actually riding, right?
\nBut parts thieves are really the worst…
\nYou might put new parts on, only to have them stolen again…
\nTo them, your bike must look like a money tree…
\nYikes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
