Spoof sign highlights train station’s bike theft problem
“Bicycle Redistribution Point”: , as designer slams police inaction and lack of security for cyclists
And this week, he turned his attention to one problem that’s currently impacting cyclists across the West Sussex city – bike theft. The sign, attached to a pole outside the station’s bike parking facility and installed this week, depicts a masked man, huge bolt cutters strapped to his bike, riding away with a presumably stolen bike, with the caption: “Chichester Bicycle Redistribution Point. Many thanks for your donations.”
“The moment I read this I suddenly remembered just how many people I know who have lost a bike at that very spot,” wrote Chris Astley. When asked about the reaction to his signs, and the effect it may have on prompting Southern Rail and the British Transport Police to take action to tackle bike theft, CARP told us: “The response has been overwhelmingly positive – people seem to enjoy the humour but also appreciate the way it shines a light on the problem.
