FAQs
Find answers to your questions about 529 Garage and how it works.
What is a 529 Shield?
A shield is an optional, tamper-resistant/weather-resistant decal that has a unique, seven character ID code which adds an extra identifier and layer of protection for your bike.
How does the 529 Shield protect my bike?
The shield sends a warning to bike thieves to back off because there will be a whole community of people who get notified if it ever goes missing. In the event of a theft and law enforcement or an unknowing buyer finds a shield on your bike, they'll be able to look your bike up on the 529 Garage and quickly get your bike back to you.
Where can I get a 529 Shield?
You can get a 529 Shield through local bike shops, Amazon, and some of our partner organizations. You can find our store finder here. If you are in the US, Canada, or New Zealand, you can also buy them on our shop here. Subscribers to our Protect Plan (if available in your region) receive a 529 Shield for free!
