Dear Will,

You couldn't make it up.

British Transport Police have confirmed they won’t review CCTV footage if a bike is stolen after being locked at a station for more than two hours.

That’s effectively a green light to thieves, and a message to everyone else that cycle theft just isn’t a priority.

We’re fighting this, but we need your support to do it.

 
A donation today will help us challenge this policy and power our wider work to support everyone who cycles in the UK.

Last week, I called out British Transport Police’s flawed and misguided approach on BBC Breakfast.

Since this aired, our inbox has been flooded with messages from members and supporters who agree the policy isn’t acceptable - and we’ve acted quickly. We’ve written to the BTP Chief Constable urging her to meet us and review this policy.

But here’s the reality: policies like this don’t just fail victims of crime, they actively put people off cycling. And every time we push back, it takes time, evidence, pressure… and funding.

If you - like us - believe cycle theft should be taken seriously, please donate today.

With your support, we can take action against decisions that leave thieves unchallenged and cyclists unsupported in the UK.

Thank you for standing up for cyclists with us.
