The story behind BIKEBAZ

From frustration to innovation: our journey to a safer cycling environment.

Our Mission

At BIKEBAZE®, we are committed to a revolutionizing bicycle safety. We understand the frustration and helplessness associated with bike theft — something our team has experienced personally. Our story began in November 2022, when a beloved bike was stolen. This incident was not just a loss, but a spark that led to the creation of BIKEBAZE®.

Our Vision

Wij zijn ervan overtuigd dat het tackling bicycle theft requires a collective effort from everyone - from individual bike owners and local communities to insurers, manufacturers, governments and municipalities. BIKEBAZE strives to bring these diverse groups together and initiate a collaborative movement using technological innovation and community strength. Our SafeTag and BikeVault are just the beginning; they not only provide immediate protection and peace of mind for bike owners, but are also the first steps towards a much larger goal.

Our vision is a future where people can fully enjoy cycling again, free from the constant stress and fear of bicycle theft. We streven ernaar om uitgebreide data te verzamelen over fietsdiefstal, om inzichten te bieden die kunnen leiden tot effectievere preventiestrategieën, betere ondersteuning voor slachtoffers en een sterker gemeenschapsgevoel. Door samen te werken en innovatieve oplossingen te omarmen, kunnen we een veiliger, zorgelozer fietslandschap creëren voor iedereen. Doe mee met BIKEBAZE en maak deel uit van deze beweging naar een toekomst waar fietsplezier centraal staat.

Our Team

BIKEBAZE® is more than a company; it is a mission driven by people who have a passion for cycling and innovation. Each team member has a unique story and a personal motivation to contribute to the safety of cyclists. From the pain of stolen bikes to the frustration over the lack of action by local governments, each of us has a reason to fight for this cause.

BIKEBAZE® Society

We believe that change must come from the community. By empowering cyclists to protect their bikes and using our platform to report theft and collect data, we are building a robust community that is committed to the safety of everyone. Our SafeTag and BikeVault are tools used by the community to create a safer cycling culture.

Why BIKEBAZE®?

It is absurd and unacceptable that bicycles — essential, valuable vehicles for many of us — can be stolen so easily. We are determined to change this. With BIKEBAZE®, we're not just offering a product; we're building a movement. Together with cyclists, local authorities and partners, we strive to reduce bicycle theft, increase safety and make the streets safer for everyone.
