LAST year only 2% of bike thefts reported\u00a0in Cardiff resulted in a suspect being charged.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nThere were 1,480 bicycles reported stolen in 2018; compared with 873 in 2012.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nCardiff by Bike, a local cycling organisation said: \u201cBike theft is going to be a problem for any reasonably large city and regrettably people do end up having their bicycles stolen.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nIn Leeds, a city with a similar population, there were only 567 reported cases last year.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nCardiff\u2019s high number of cases is partly a result of the city\u2019s growing passion for cycling.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nWhile professional Cardiff cyclists such as Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas and World Indoor Track champion\u00a0Elinor Barker<\/a>\u00a0have enjoyed success, r<\/span>ecreational cycling has boomed<\/span>\u00a0in the city in recent years<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
