Happy New Year! For my first blog of 2020, I want you to consider the security of your bikes.
Many of you will have given or received a fabulous new bike at Christmas, however, thieves’ love new bikes too, so don’t ever leave your bike, not even for a minute, without them being secured. As a general rule, if you’re not sat on it, secure it!
Follow these tips to help prevent you becoming a victim of bike crime.
And finally!
Don't buy a stolen second-hand bike. Insist on proof of ownership and check the bike frame number on the Bike Checker at www.bikeregister.com
If your bike has been stolen, contact the police. Give them your frame number, BikeRegister number, photo and any other details and register your bike as stolen on BikeRegister.
Lock it or lose it!
If you have any information about a crime, contact the police on 101 or you can call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
