Weeping for society as I lock-up my bike

M

y heart weeps for society every time I use my bicycle and the behaviour of just a few forces me to lock it up.

The new bicycle security lockers in
Shepparton's Maude St Mall.

I grew up in an era when people rarely locked anything, including the front door of their homes, but all that has changed and now a bike can’t be left unattended for even minutes for it could be subject to an opportunistic theft.

Theft is one of the prime reasons that people don’t use bicycles more and sadly many local governments have been forced to go to extremes to provide bicycle parking security.

And now the City of Greater Shepparton is providing security lockers in the city’s Maude St Mall.
