Why Register Your Bike?

Law enforcement agencies recover hundreds of bikes each year but typically have little information to assist in identifying the owners. By registering your bike you will increase the chance of recovery and assist law enforcement in returning it to you if it's found. Register your bike today. It's easy and it's free!

1 Your Contact Information

By registering your bike or scooter with Denver Police Department, you allow them to view your contact information. In most cases, you would only be contacted by Denver Police Department if there is a question about your bike, registration or alert, or if your bike was found. You can also update these permissions in your user settings at any time.

3 Your Bike Photos

Photos recover bikes!

The majority of recovered bikes have photos in their registration. We've listed the most important ones but add as many as you can.


Side

A clear side profile makes your bike instantly recognizable if it's lost or stolen.

You and your bike

A photo of you with your bike helps prove it's yours if it's ever recovered.

Receipt

Police and finders often ask for proof of purchase before returning a recovered bike. This photo stays private.

What to look for

Scratches, stickers, or custom parts. Unique details make your bike easier to spot and return.

Tips

Use a cable lock for securing accessories and a highly rated U-Lock to secure your frame.

Secure your back wheel and frame with a highly rated U-lock to an approved bike rack.
