Thousands of bikes are stolen every year as thieves believe that bicycle theft is a low risk, high reward crime. Registering your bike on BikeRegister means you could be reunited with your bike in the event of it being stolen.

BikeRegister is the UK’s national cycle database and the leading online bicycle identification and registration initiative aiming to reduce cycle theft, identify stolen bikes and assist in owner recovery. BikeRegister is used by every UK Police Force and is the preferred bike marking system of the Metropolitan Police Service and British Transport Police. Bike security is a serious concern for cyclists and anyone who’s thinking of taking up cycling.
