cottage industry, college industry
Is college bike theft worse around big city colleges? I always locked my bike at Purdue and only once got a rear wheel stolen after which I would put the front wheel over the bar and the cable through both. But there was never anyone stealing bikes by the rackful. Where would they go with them? There wasn't anyone outside the college riding around on bikes. Was there some growth in city riding in the 2000's along with single speeds that made a new market for used bikes?
