Bike Thefts Surge During COVID-19 As Sales Boom
9 July 2020 - 4 minsThe number of reported bike thefts in Dublin jumped by almost half last month, with thieves profiting from unprecedented demand during COVID-19.
As people avoid public transport, cycling has become increasingly popular, leading to a surge in bike sales.
Unfortunately that also means more thefts, with a 46% increase recorded in the capital in June and a 40% increase nationally. However, these numbers are likely to be much higher as only a third of bike thefts are reported to the GardaĆ.
Kieran Ryan from the Dublin Cycling Campaign joined us with some tips on how to protect your bike from being stolen.
