  • But are there not more bike journeys in Hackney than any other borough?

    Estimated cycling modal share of all trips made by Hackney residents = 8% according to latest TfL report (London Travel Demand Survey). Richmond is second at 4%.

    More bike journeys = more bikes locked up on streets = more thefts possible = best place to go if you are a bike thief

    It depends on what you're looking for. Many bikes from Hackney spend daytimes in Central London. There are certainly vulnerable sheds, but they tend to be targeted at night. Think of a way in which a bike owner can spend time away from their bike and you've thought of an opportunity for theft.
