Bicycle Registration

There are 4 good reasons to register your bike:

  • Deterrent to theft - Having your bike's serial number on file makes it much harder to resell.
  • Proof of ownership - Parking can cut your bike lock if you forget your lock combo or lose your key.
  • Contact prior to impound - If you leave your bike parked for an extended period of time we can attempt to contact you prior to putting the bike into salvage.
  • Recovery if stolen - If your bike is lost or stolen, having it registered gives you a chance that it might be returned to you if located.
