Bike Marking : Sat 14 Mar 12:00

Hello everyone

Canning Town South SNT will be hosting a Bike Marking Event on the ward to help cyclists protect their property and deter theft. This free service allows residents to have their bicycles securely marked and registered, giving them peace of mind and increasing the chances of bikes being returned if they are ever lost or stolen.

Bike marking is one of the most effective ways to protect your bicycle. By applying a unique identification code and registering it on a national database, officers can quickly verify ownership and reunite recovered bikes with their rightful owners.
