Have you ever had a bike stolen from your property? Even worse, has one of your kids’ bikes ever been stolen? It’s not a fun feeling, is it?
Thanks to a partnership between the City of Lloydminster and the Lloydminster RCMP, Border City residents can now register their bicycles with BikeIndex.org in the event they are stolen.
Bike Index is a registration database with the highest bike theft recovery rate among any registration service. It allows the bike owner to declare their bike stolen and receive information through the database if it’s recovered.
This week, Lloydminster residents are invited to attend two different registration sessions to get their bikes in the system. The first session takes place tomorrow from 12-3 p.m. at the outdoor pool. The second session takes place from 12-4 p.m. on Thursday at the Harty Development Skate Park in the parking lot of the Servus Sports Centre.
Aside from helping residents register their bikes, the Lloydminster RCMP will be onsite to help the public learn more about bike safety and test their skills on a bike obstacle course.
By registering your bike, you’re ensuring it’s traceable and increasing the chances of recovery if it’s stolen.
