The Pledge
No two ways about it, getting your bike stolen sucks. Even worse, it’s the biggest barrier preventing people from riding great bikes. City-dwellers are so scared of theft, they’d rather drive, cram themselves into the subway, or (gasp) ride a crappy bike instead.
We’ve had enough.
We’re tired of letting thieves rule the city. That’s why we’re promising to end bike theft by 2020, so you can ride where you want, how you want, whenever you want.
