PDQ 11 | Invitation and tips to prevent bicycle theft

23 july 2018

Dear Cyclists,

Bicycle theft is a reality in our sector and unfortunately, every year several people have their bicycle stolen.

Here are a few prevention tips to make it more difficult for thieves to steal your bike:

  • Register your bicycle and have it engraved (see below for dates of the PROJET NUMÉRO activity).
  • Lock your bicycle with a high quality lock.
  • Secure your bicycle to a bicycle rack or stand when possible.
  • If your front wheel has a quick release, remove it and lock it along with the rear wheel and the frame.
  • Avoid leaving your bicycle locked in the same place for several days in a row if it is not supervised.
  • Record your bicycle’s serial number and description, and keep a photo of it.

For more information, please visit the SPVM’s website

We invite you to attend one of the following PROJET NUMÉRO activities, where you can register your bicycle and have it engraved, for FREE:
