85OWNER’S MANUAL
5.5 KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR BICYCLE
Take a colour photograph of your bicycle, write
the frame number on the back of the photograph
and keep it in a safe place. Less than one in ten
stolen bicycles is returned, partly because the
owner cannot describe the bicycle. Engraving a
registration number on the bicycle will also help.
The police, Neighbourhood Watch and service
clubs run bicycle registration programs.
If you keep a record of the details of your bicycle
it will greatly increase the possibility of getting it
back should it be lost or stolen.
Remember the advice about LOCKING YOUR
BICYCLE. A good quality lock is cheap
insurance.
