    Long commute question

    theft of electric bikes

    I suppose it’s relative to where you live. London and most metros have a high degree of bike theft by well tooled thieves, other places have mostly opportunist thieves .

    Decathlon ROCKRIDER E-ST500 Electric Mountain Bike General thread
