***🚴‍♂️Bike Marking Event @ Fairlands Valley Park 👮***

Stevenage Neighbourhood Policing Team are holding a free bike-marking event in #Stevenage tomorrow (Saturday 11th May). 

Bike marking helps to make them less attractive to thieves, as they are harder to sell on. It also means they can be reunited with their rightful owners more easily should they ever be lost or stolen.

We will be at the Fairlands Valley Park outside Costello’s Café between 12pm and 3pm. 

“There’s no cost and it will give you peace of mind that yours is more secure.

“We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of our top tips for bike security. We advise using a chain and D-lock combination and avoid cable locks as these are easy to cut. Lock your bike where you can see it – ideally in a busy area or under CCTV.

“Finally, it’s worth registering your bike on www.bikeregister.com. This is a free online property database which we use to check stolen property. That way, if your bike is stolen, you have more chance of it being returned to you.”
