It's been debated with some heated discussions before but it's always good to keep current and aware. Be proactive and keep ahead by being aware and don't let the little things creep up and be taken away from you.
We have a registration program here in St. Petersburg. There's no charge for it, and sadly it's just a piece of paper and scotch tape. It's not anything that would be noticed if it was removed. Now the label that I got from the National Bike registry THAT would be noticed if it were tampered with.Houston had a bike registration program that was optional. $1.00 for life for each bike. made it easy for the police to identify your bike by serial number and you got a big yellow sticker to put on the bike. Yes, it could be scraped off but then whoever had the bike would have to explain the missing paint spot and why they had a stolen bike. Also made insurance claims easier. Alas, that program is no more.
National Bike Registry? Didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:We have a registration program here in St. Petersburg.

You're welcome, when I bought my Specialized Hardrock at my LBS and purchased their Platinum package I got something like a 10 year registration with them.National Bike Registry? Didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that one can register other items at the National Bike Registry, besides bicycles. And agreed, registering one's bike, laptop, cell phone, etc. with some sort of national registry is a good idea.I forgot to mention I do have my bike registered, along with my cell phone and laptop, on a site called Stuffbak. Again it won't prevent someone from stealing your bike but will make an insurance claim easier.
