By the way, I have a student which parents are Dutchs. His mother tongue is french but he speaks Dutch as well. He said he goes often to the Netherlands and that bike theft is a real PITA there, specially for parts where one can come back and finds it ripped from essentiel components.

There seem to be two of them in Montreal now:
Allo Vélo Boutique & Café and
VeloLifestyle.
Bike theft is an issue but less so than it was, let's say 20 years ago, when you had junkies on street corners selling bikes for the price of a single fix. It still happens but with bicycle parking in most major cities I actually feel safer nowadays. And it is pretty standard to use both a frame lock together with a chain
frame lock. That's close to 2KG (
4.4lbs) in locks you're carrying around but it does keep your bike safe.
