DENVER (KDVR) — The Denver Police Department will offer free bike registration at several locations in the city for Bike to Work Day on Wednesday, June 26.
The city partners with 529 Garage for its bike registration system, which it said enhances bicycle theft prevention, lost or stolen bike recovery and stolen bike investigations, among other things.
Registrations document things like the bike’s serial number and make, model and color for easier identification and return if lost or stolen.
Volunteers will be at five locations throughout the city on Wednesday to encourage people to register and help people register:
- Denver Zoo from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
- REI at 1416 Platte St. from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
- Cherry Creek Trail at South University Boulevard and Cherry Creek North Drive from 6:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
- East 29th Avenue Town Center at East 29th Avenue and North Roslyn Street from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
- Skyline Park at 16th Street and Arapahoe Street from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
According to police, more than 400 bikes that were recovered in 2022 were never claimed or returned to their owners due to lack of registration.
People who register at the locations will receive a 529 Shield decal, which police said could let thieves know that the bike is registered, as well as help police in stolen bike recovery.
People can also register their bikes online for free either through the DPD website or the 529 Garage app.
