What is BIKEBAZE®?
Together we make cycling safer.
A smart and easy way to protect your bike.
Register your bike, attach a SafeTag and join a growing community of cyclists who work together to combat bike theft.
3 pillars
BIKEBAZE® consists of three components that reinforce each other: registration, prevention and community.
Registration
At BIKEBAZE®, you have your bike in your name. Your bike's frame number is linked to your account. This way, you can always show that you are the owner. This registration also helps if you sell your bike or if it is stolen, because you can immediately report that your bike is missing. Others can also use the database to see whether a bicycle has been registered as stolen. This is how we are building a network together that outwits bicycle thieves.
Prevention
After registration, you will receive two SafeTags: a large and a small sticker. You stick it to a highly visible spot on your bike. They are brightly coloured, weatherproof and difficult to remove. The SafeTag is linked to your registration in the BikeVault, the database. This allows anyone who comes across your bike to scan the SafeTag and see if it has been stolen. Bicycle thieves prefer to leave such bikes behind. Our data shows that bicycles with a SafeTag are stolen 9 times less often. The Tags therefore help prevent and recover stolen bicycles.
Community
The BIKEBAZE® community is our strength. Thousands of cyclists, municipalities and partners are working together to prevent bicycle theft and recover stolen bicycles. Do you see a bike with a SafeTag? Then you can scan it and check if it has been stolen. If your bike is stolen, the community will help you search by actively scanning SafeTags. Where authorities stop, we continue, together we ensure street safety.
