It's a mistake to think bicycles are a good thing, so therefore the people who ride them must be inherently good. Look at all those pavement riders and red light jumpers. Half the appeal of cycling is exactly that it is mainly unregulated, leaving a lot of freedom to behave only according to your own sense of responsibility, or lack of it.DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024181247532156790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-34492109357404406612011-08-10T21:37:22.116+01:002011-08-10T21:37:22.116+01:00Watching this from the north I can only begin to i...Watching this from the north I can only begin to imagine the terror that these riots have caused. Let's not hope that this is not a taster for more to come. Thieves that get away with such crimes get a taste for it and will strike again.<br /><br />Will anyone trust a group of young people when cycling by now?? It's a sad state of affairs. Hope things work out and you get your city back.<br /><br />Jez<br />www.followingthechainline.blogspot.comJez Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250017521876084562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-7520375192720945422011-08-09T20:59:19.818+01:002011-08-09T20:59:19.818+01:00@PaulM This is true, although there are plenty of ...@PaulM This is true, although there are plenty of hot motors in the neighbourhood.<br /><br />@Anonymous Most of the trouble has been outside of the bike hire zone (broady, zone 1 and zone 2 edges), however there were twitter reports of a hire bicycle being thrown at windows to smash in to a store last night (they are very heavy). However, one in 6000 bikes is nothing when you see how many cars and buses have been set on fire. In general, across the whole of the first year of it's life the scheme has encountered much less vandalism and theft than expected; long may it continue!ibikelondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-75515319707721714042011-08-09T17:50:50.681+01:002011-08-09T17:50:50.681+01:00How has the bikeshare done in the riots?

"...Expect Norman Tebbit quotes sometime soon:<br /><br />"In the aftermath of urban riots (Handsworth riots and the Brixton riot) in the summer of 1981, Tebbit responded to a suggestion by a Young Conservative (Iain Picton) that rioting was the natural reaction to unemployment:<br /><br />I grew up in the '30s with an unemployed father. He didn't riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he kept looking 'til he found it."Philip Loyhttp://twitter.com/philiploynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-30436345430663565562011-08-09T14:11:21.459+01:002011-08-09T14:11:21.459+01:00@Peter You're right of course that the bicycle...@Peter You're right of course that the bicycle really ought to be as ubiquitous as shoes, but when used as a tool to orchestrate something so huge, I think it's worth recording. I concur that 'Run away' is of course the best advice there is!<br /><br />@Henz I hope so too. I fear these riots will be used as an excuse for more CCTV, more shop front shutters, brighter street lights and all the other pseudo-military paraphernalia that people try to sell concerned businesses and none of which has been shown to be effective in countering these riots. It's also worth pointing out that there are plenty of hoods running about in cars, too, though obviously the get stuck in much the same traffic as the cops. I doubt they have licenses or 'road tax'.ibikelondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-92173246948582714582011-08-09T14:05:19.888+01:002011-08-09T14:05:19.888+01:00Interesting take on the riots.

Whilst obviously not condoning wanton acts of criminality, I take heart from that.
