The correct answer is "Increased concerns around bike theft". I once asked a 7yr old cousin why they aren't on the bike as much these days and they said "Have you seen the latest crime statistics? Up 4% year-on-year!" as they slapped the broadsheet newspaper they were reading for emphasis.

Dr. Jeroen W.P. WijnendaeleNo longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
Hey lads, we already asked the Taoiseach if the water use of data centres could be measured and he rightly threw a fit in the Dail about people not being able to use facebook and twitter if we did that. Just turn off the hoses and stop looking at data centres, they're fine, stop asking about it.
The JournalData down the drain: As householders live under a hosepipe ban, data centres have a transparency problem no one wants to solve... jrnl.ie/7114784
