I recently moved to Dublin and I’ve been looking into getting a bike. However, I’ve heard a lot about bike theft in Dublin specifically and it’s really pushing me away from wanting to get one. I live in D18 so I’m not sure how bad it is, but I would be travelling close to the center for work. I don’t have a garage where I live, the closest I have is a fenced off area which might be able to fit a bike through but not sure. Any tips or advice to help make sure I could ease my mind about it?
