Bikeregister.com is the on-line registration initiative aiming to reduce bike theft and assist in owner recovery.

Bikeregister.com offers a Police preferred product for marking your bike. Selectamark, which runs the scheme, has a Secured By Design license.

The scheme is operated in conjunction with major bicycle retailers and manufacturers to effectively assist with the return of stolen bikes to their rightful owners through state-of-the-art bike ID and an on-line recovery register.

131,000 bikes were REPORTED stolen in the UK last year and, according to Home Office figures, less than 8 per cent were returned to their owners.

By registering with bikeregister.com owners can enjoy lifetime protection and potential buyers are assured total peace of mind.

How bikeregister.com works:

Once registered with bikeregister.com your details are posted on the secure on-line database attached to the website.

Police Forces across the country have secure access to the on-line database. When recovering lost or stolen bicycles officers can now easily link the bike with the correct registered owner and notify them of its recovery.

Bikeregister.com also provides protection for buyers and sellers of secondhand bikes. The bikeregister.com Ownership Document is your Log Book and provides proof of ownership for you and any potential buyer.

REMEMBER - NO LOG BOOK - NO SALE

Those considering purchasing a secondhand bike can also check a frame number with the bikeregister.com database to confirm it hasn't been reported stolen.

Once registered, if your bike is stolen you can report the theft directly to the database.

With personal information treated as strictly confidential and protected by the latest internet security, bikeregister.com provides a totally secure and convenient means of protecting your bike.

Why should I register?

Bicycles are a valuable investment; with costs ranging between £150 and £4,000 it's important to secure and protect them.

Bike locks are a deterrent to thieves but by no means are a guarantee of security.

** Did you know it can take under 10 seconds to steal a locked bicycle?**

bikeregister.com registration means:

If your bike is lost or stolen the Police can identify the current registered owner and notify them of its recovery.

You no longer need worry about purchasing a stolen secondhand bicycle.

Remember - No Log Book = No Sale!
