3.5 KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR BICYCLE

Take a colour photograph of your bicycle, write the frame number on the back of the photograph and
keep it in a safe place. Less than one in ten stolen bicycles is returned, partly because the owner
cannot describe the bicycle. Engraving a registration number on the bicycle will also help. The police,
Neighbourhood Watch and service clubs run bicycle registration programs.
If you keep a record of the details of your bicycle it will greatly increase the possibility of getting it back
should it be lost or stolen.
Remember the advice about LOCKING YOUR BICYCLE.
A good quality lock is cheap insurance.
See the record chart at end of this manual.
