It's a flat as fuck city so it's easy to bike everywhere and bikes are ubiquitous. It's also where Schwinn made most of their old bikes, and Trek is located just a few hours away in Wisconsin, so there's a baseline level of bike geekery you don't find in other cities.

Bike theft is also super easy and super common. It takes minimal effort to get in the game. It helps if you're nocturnal, but it's not necessary.

But the main thing is you don't have to go far to re-sell the bikes or part them out or whatever, because there's an annual "Bike Swap" up in Madison, WI where people overpay for used bikes. The secret is to time your actions around the Bike Swap to maximize your takehome from that one event. It's like taxes - you only have to do it once a year.

TBF my information may be outdated. But you could fit at least $50k worth of stolen bikes in a Ryder truck at one point.

Bike theft is still rampant and lots of good targets for it too.

Rip off all decals and cover up any markings that makes the bike look expensive. Wrap the tubes in black duck tape if u have to. Don't use rims that stand out. If it's a vintage frame have it repainted jet black.

It can be as organized as you want it to be. The main thing is that it's low effort. See my other threading on this:

I knew people who were in the game at one time, but none of them actually ever stole anyone's bike. They were always middle men.

Some of the strictest and least effective gun control measures in the country. And no effort whatsoever to ban battery powered angle grinders. That’s 2024 shitlibs for you.

All these fags move there for college, then leave their bikes locked up at these yuge bike racks out back near the trash bins on campus.
