Bike Theft

Let’s Work Together to Prevent Bike Theft!

Bike theft is a nationwide problem and a huge problem in Utah, and very few cyclists have been lucky enough not to have had their rides stolen. Even fewer have been lucky enough to get their stolen bikes back. It’s a huge, huge issue, and it’s time the bike community stepped up to push back against the tidal wave of theft.

CyclingUtah.com has partnered with BikeIndex.org – the largest, free bicycle registration system in the world – to help our riders protect their bikes and to recover stolen bikes once they are ‘in the wild’.
