I've long complained that we, as a society, aren't doing enough to prevent or deal with the underappreciated consequences of bike theft. But could that finally be changing? In this video, I look at new ideas for preventing bike theft.
Bonus: A professor of criminology weighs in on each idea from an empirical standpoint. Big thanks to Maddy Novich, also known as Cargo Bike Momma on Instagram: [ Ссылка ]

A huge thanks to my ongoing sponsors this year. They support this channel, so please support them. They also make amazing products that I use every day and endorse without hesitation.
Priority Bikes: I happily rode Priority for years before they signed on as a sponsor this year.
I’m currently riding the zippy and fun new Priority Eight: [ Ссылка ]
I’ve ridden the Priority Continuum Onyx through many Canadian winters: [ Ссылка ].
Two Wheel Gear: My favourite bike bags and panniers, and the best convertible backpack-pannier that I’ve ever used: [ Ссылка ]

I don’t really do proper product reviews, but here are some products that I’ve tried on this channel that I like. (Of course, you don’t need anything fancy to ride a bike, other than a bike, but these are Amazon affiliate links, and I get paid a small commission if you buy them 😉)
• If you ride a bike in the city, you need a good lock. Litelok is a good option: us.litelok.com/SHIFTER
• If you wear a helmet and like to be well-lit, consider the Lumos: ridelumos.com/shifter
• Hindsight sunglasses have mirrors so you can see behind you while you ride. Plus, they look good: [ Ссылка ]
• Love these RedShift Acrlight Smart LED Pedals: [ Ссылка ]
• Crane Bicycle Bell (the ding is sublime): [ Ссылка ]
• Bicycle Cargo Net (why did it take so long for me to buy one of these?): [ Ссылка ]
• Vaude Cover II Rain Poncho (for higher-end, try Cleverhood or People’s Poncho): [ Ссылка ]
• Peak Design phone case (the one I use, paired with the Peak Design phone mount): [ Ссылка ]
