Over the past year, there has been a cycling boom, with shops struggling to keep up with the sheer scale of demand. but at the same time, there has been a steady flow of bike crime. last year, there were more than 80,000 incidents of bike theft, and many, many thousands more going unreported. like many people living in a big city, i often leave my poor bike left locked up outside, fending for itself. and unfortunately, over the last 12 months, its received a lot of unwanted attention. it all loo...

You might imagine that cycling would be the next best way to get around. but the bike sharing trend thats been massive all over the world in big cities like paris and rio, it hasnt really caught on africas biggest cities. in the entirety of kenya theres only been one that has been opened — i guess i should say, was opened. nairobis sole scheme is here, on a university campus. it began a couple of years ago as an experiment to see if bike sharing could work in africa. thats a shame. but its all...

The bike, it should give you... alarm beeps. ..a rather loud warning. and, like the kinoee, the more you mess with it, the louder the warning gets until, eventually, this goes into a theft mode, and thats where things get really interesting because they provide a peace of mind service. peace of mind service is, if your bike should get stolen and we cant find it in two weeks of getting stolen, you will get a new bicycle provided by vanmoof. after trying out all this tech, i wanted to find out wha...

A whole lot more accurate. after trying out all of this tech, i wanted to find out what the professionals think. i love technology, and anything that i think will help us stop crime, its music to my ears. a lot of companies come to us saying, "oh, weve got this latest product," so we run a bit of an innovation panel so what we will do is look at it, we will provide a bit of advice as to whether its a viable product — and i invest in some of this stuff myself — but the best crime prevention i...

If your bike should get stolen and we cant find it within two weeks of getting stolen, you will get a new bicycle provided by vanmoof. as luck would have it, one bike was pinging off pretty nearby. so wejumped on our bikes and set off on the hunt. hopefully were going to find the nicked vanmoof. its a bit of a needle in the haystack, i guess. absolutely no joy. 0k. sometimes when bikes are stolen, they get squirrelled away in the alleyways. weve scoured the area and there are too many houses abo...

So a little bit like the kinoee, if you move the bike, it should give you... alarm beeps. ..a rather loud warning. and, like the kinoee, the more you mess with it, the louder the warning gets until, eventually, this goes into a theft mode, and thats where things get really interesting because they provide a peace of mind service. peace of mind service is, if your bike should get stolen and we cant find it in two weeks of getting stolen, you will get a new bicycle provided by vanmoof. after tryin...

But at the same time, there has been a steady flow of bike crime. last year, there were more than 80,000 incidents of bike theft, and many, many thousands more going unreported. like many people living in a big city, i often leave my poor bike left locked up outside, fending for itself. and unfortunately, over the last 12 months, its received a lot of unwanted attention. it all looks normal except, oh, where are the handlebars? theres the brake cable snipped. so, my personal woes got me thinking...
