History/ Background
The City of Miami Beach has a high rate of bicycle thefts. Residents and visitors use bicycles for a number of reasons, including: convenience, reduced impact on the environment, low cost and few parking issues. Unfortunately, the high number of bicycles leads to an exponential increase in bicycle thefts. Figures for the previous three years are shown below:
