QUOTE
Calls are growing on Bristol City Council to make the city safer for
cyclists. Earlier this month thousands petitioned council chiefs to come up
with a plan for a comprehensive network of safe bike lanes, a proper bike
share scheme, and cycle hangars to clamp down on rampant bike theft. The
mayor’s blog post is his formal response to the petition for safer cycling.

So, apart from cyclists, whoever would be interested in stolen bicycles or
parts?

It's obvious that chav-cyclists are behind every bit of it, whether as
front-end thieves or back-end willing buyers at knock-off prices.

How could it not be?
