Once you enter your bike(s) details, the database will be available to police for faster reporting in the event of a theft.
The Atlantic Beach Police Department said that over the last three years, 125 bikes were stolen. Of those, only 14 owners could provide serial numbers of their bikes.
To find your bike’s serial number, look underneath the frame’s bottom bracket. They can also be found on the head tube, seat tube, or rear dropout.
Police said in addition to registration, remember to always lock your bike and retain all proofs of purchase. Registry does NOT establish ownership.
