Bike Registry & Recovery

Register your bike to make recovery more likely should it be stolen.

SABA has partnered with the non-profit Bike Index to educate bicycle owners about bike registration and reporting services.

Why Register Your Bicycle

  • Law enforcement agencies recover hundreds of bikes a year but have very little information to connect the bikes to the owners. By registering your bike, you’ll help the community and law enforcement know the bike belongs to you if it is found.
  • A bike registration lets you record the important data that helps identify your bike. You’ll need this information if your bike is ever stolen and once recovered, to show proof that it is your bike.
  • If you need to make a police report, all of the necessary information is captured.
  • If you need to file an insurance claim, all of that info is captured too.
  • Automatic stolen bike Instagram posts and optional paid Facebook alert ads.
  • If you are going to sell your bike, you can easily create a transfer of information complete with a bill of sale.
  • Bike Index can be used worldwide by authorities, organizations, and individual users alike.
  • Read about how Bike Index identified and broke up a stolen bicycle ring in Mexico.
