I'm touching wood here. But.
In terms of bike crime, Dublin is not even close. Also, there's been a bike left outside my lane for a few days now, unlocked and untouched. But I suppose, unlike Stein, I actually do live in the best area (for the time being).
In terms of violent crime Dublin is pretty much like any other major European city but gang related crime rarely spills out of a few enclaves.
All crime, including bike crime, is easily avoidable by area (I'm touching wood). I think its a fairly good city to ride in generally. But with shit roads comparable to SE London. Our bus drivers (although far from perfect) are more chillaxed than those in SE London and traffic for the most part is at a stand still so you should find it fairly safe.
One great thing is about half an hour ride from the city centre your in mountains, otherwise there's not a hill to be seen. So you have a nice flat city to commute in and great mountains to cycle in just minutes away!
Peace
