Prevent bike theft and thwart thieves

A bike is stolen every 30 seconds, but that doesn’t mean you have to be a victim.

Register your bike with the VPD’s Project 529 Garage – a bike theft prevention program – on Wednesday, May 18, at the VGH Cycling Centre to protect your ride.

Project 529 Garage is a digital, community-based bike registration and recovery service hosted by the Vancouver Police Department. In Vancouver, thousands of recovered bikes go to auction because the police can’t locate the owners. You can help increase your odds of recovering a stolen bike by registering yours. It’s easy, takes just five minutes and, in the event that your bike goes missing, you’ll have everything you need to activate the police and community to help recover your bike.

When: Wednesday, May 18 from 7-10 am and 2-6 pm

Where: VGH Cycling Centre located at 866 West 10th Ave between Willow and Laurel Streets

What to bring: Bring your completed 529 sign-in sheet: 529 Garage Sign-In Sheet – VGH Cycling Centre
