Proposal

Bicycles in the United States are ranked number one on the list of most stolen items. It's a huge problem in cities throughout the country and is way up on the theft list. Bikes get stolen from fellow Americans daily even if they have it locked up. Reports by law enforcement range from stolen tires, frames, and the entire bike if they can cut through the lock. 

Practical Solution

Cities that have a high number of bicyclists should invest in secure public bike storage systems. In Tokyo, Japan, many Japanese opt to bike to their destinations because of traffic. Underground bike parking locations are all over the city. Having this system prevents bikes from being stolen because a identification card has to be scanned. The universities and busy public places across the country would benefit greatly by doing this because it would decrease the number of bikes stolen.

  1. My suggestion, if you decide to stick with this topic, is to localize it. Pinpoint a specific city or area that has a high percentage of bike theft.
