A sporting goods retailer is giving victims of bicycle theft in the GTA a hands up to replace their stolen ride.
Decathlon, which has six locations in the Toronto and Hamilton areas, is offering customers $50 off the purchase of a replacement bicycle at GTHA stores through its new, limited-time Stolen Discount program.
In a statement provided to CP24.com, the company said that it launched the promotion now as “peak cycling season” approaches to “help support cyclists in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area cope with theft given many of our neighbours rely on their bicycle for important trips – like going to their place of work, or even the local grocery store.”
“While thefts per year may be on the decline since their peak in 2020, those numbers are still high overall, and we want to be there to help anyone impacted by such an unfortunate event. This is especially critical as the summer months approach and costs of living throughout the region continue to increase.”
In Toronto, the number of bikes being reported stolen is notably down since 2020, which saw 800 thefts reported to police between Jan. 1 and May 14.
