Bike Marking at The William Morris Gallery : Sat 27 Sep 11:00am

Good afternoon,

Your local Metropolitan Police Safer Neighbourhood Team will be holding a FREE bike marking event on Forest Road (outside The William Morris Gallery) this Saturday between 11:00am - 1:00pm

Please bring your bike/s to be security marked and registered with Bike Register. If possible, please have your bikes frame number to hand for the marking officer, as it speeds up the marking process. Most bikes have the frame number stamped in to the metal under the bottom bracket or on a sticker on newer models.

WHY GET YOUR BIKE MARKED?  

Bikes are over 80% less likely to be stolen when displaying the BikeRegister QR barcode label.

The marking and registering is carried out by ourselves. We only use the recognised bike register system with Selectamark Security System Tamper Resistant QR Barcode labels featuring a unique BikeRegister ID and secure owner data storage. 

  BikeRegister is the UK’s national cycle database

  Used to search for stolen bikes by every UK Police Force via secure online Police portal, available 24/7 

  Aimed at reducing thefts and helping the police return stolen bikes to owners, and in turn securing convictions

  When a bike is stopped or recovered, the labels can be scanned with a smartphone and identified on the BikeRegister website. This makes bikes with these labels a huge deterrent to thieves

  Ownership can be securely transferred by the keeper when a bike is sold 

  Over 1,200,000 bikes now registered nationwide
