Bike Registration and Security Marking Event

Join us at Giant for the fifth planned Bike Register event this year



Milton Keynes Council’s Cycling Team and Thames Valley Police will be providing free ‘Bike Registering’ to get your bike security marked and added to the national cycle database in case of theft. Events will be run at various venues across Milton Keynes throughout the year.



We use ‘BikeRegister’ Visible Marking to permanently mark the frame of your bike with a unique BikeRegister ID and add it to the national cycle database. The database is used by every police force in the UK to search for stolen and recovered bikes.

How Bike Register Works:

We use Bike Register security mark etching on the bike frame.

The chemical used etches the coating of your bike frame with a visible permanent blue mark, leaving a neat unique mark which does not affect the frame’s integrity*. A tamper resistant warning label is also added to your frame to warn potential thieves that the bike is marked.



You’ll need to fill in a form with some basic details about your bike and some personal details. MKC send this information to BikeRegister who will add it to their national database. If your bike is stolen and then recovered by the police, they will check the bike for security marks and then check the national database – reuniting you with your trusty steed.



More information about Bike Register can be found here.



*N.B. Any bike with a painted or lacquered finish can be marked with the standard plastic marking compound. However, if your bike frame is uncoated carbon fibre, uncoated aluminium or uncoated titanium, then this product will not be suitable. These frames can be identified with a laminated, tamper resistant warning label with unique QR code that can be scanned instantly with a smart phone. Deters would-be thieves.
