re: #115 Aucun pays pour les vieux ennemis
Bikes that look like crap get stolen a lot less.
That’s a myth. At least in acoustic bicycles. Only bike stolen from me was a spray-painted piece of junk. First thief abandoned it when a pedal fell off. Second thief (after it was fixed) removed the $5 basket and took the $2.50 bike.
Thieves are not smart, in general.
Only paint jobs worse then the hide-it-cause-it’s-stolen ones are the hide-it-cause-it’s-valuable ones.
