Cycling Issues

Cambridge has its Cycle Recovery “Angel” – see this recent BBC article. With the police being so over-stretched that they have to de-prioritise investigation of cycle theft, this guy is doing a great job harrassing the regular bike thieves in Cambridge and has apparently helped recover 500 bikes! We could do with someone like him in Oxford! There is a huge amount of money and political effort put in to trying to encourage more people to get out of their cars and switch to cycling instead, but that can all be undermined if the cycle theft problem is allowed to get out of hand. As usual, there is very little joined-up thinking across the different agencies.
