Register each bicycle

The best time to register a bicycle is when you buy it.

If you have more than one bicycle, register each bicycle separately. If your address or phone number changes, make sure to update it.

You'll need to provide

• Your email address, street address and phone number
• General information like the type of your bicycle, frame size and color
• Name of the manufacturer
• The bike's serial number, which is likely under the bottom bracket or in one of these locations:
  • Seat tube
  • Headset
  • Rear stays
  • Elsewhere around the bottom bracket

Lost or stolen bicycles

If your bicycle is lost or stolen, you can mark it as lost or stolen.

If you plan on purchasing a bicycle from someone you do not know, check the serial number. Be sure to verify that it is not marked as lost or stolen before paying.

If you discover that a bicycle you are being offered to buy is stolen, do not buy the bicycle. Instead, alert the Minneapolis Police Department.
