Isn't this offering incentives to people to steal bikes owned by couriers? How is that helping?
And who is to say that if rewards were given that they should only be given to couriers? Others are very much dependent on their bicycle too. Not I sure, but I'm sure you can find people in London living in poverty and for whom a bicycle represents a great deal of their freedom. A courier is surely more likely to be able to cobble together a replacement than that person in poverty.
Besides, isn't it an occupational hazard? Surely that is up to couriers and their employers (if you're not self-employed) to solve?
