Cycle Crime Conference 2021: let’s get back on the road!
The sixth annual Cycle Crime Conference, hosted by BikeRegister, the national cycle database, in association with British Transport Police (BTP), has taken place.
The conference which is usually held at Tally Ho, the West Midlands Police training and conference centre in Birmingham, was postponed in 2020 (due to Covid restrictions) but went ahead virtually this year.
The theme was ‘Let’s Get Back on the Road’ with speakers highlighting the fact that although take up of cycling rose dramatically during the pandemic, with a 40% increase in retail sales, criminality has inevitably followed.
