Tag & recover · part of the Towpath estate

The Bike Register

Give your bike an invisible ID — so if it's ever found, one scan reaches you.

A free register for pushbikes, e-bikes, motorcycles and scooters. Add a QR sticker or hide an NFC tag, and anyone who finds your bike can contact you privately — no names or numbers shared. Mark it stolen and the community gets an instant alert.

Why The Bike Register

What makes it different

01

An invisible ID for your bike

Stick a QR code on it or hide an NFC tag inside the frame — visible or invisible, your choice.

02

One scan, owner reached

A finder scans the tag and reaches you in seconds, without ever seeing your name, number or email.

03

Instant stolen alerts

Mark your bike stolen and the community can spot it — a digital 'missing' poster that actually works.

04

Every kind of rider

Pushbikes, e-bikes, motorcycles, mopeds and scooters — all in one free register.

Better than the alternative

How it compares

The usual way
  • Police-marking kits focus on deterrence and recovery-by-force
  • An AirTag shows you a location; it doesn't prove the bike is yours
With The Bike Register
  • A free, private scan-to-reunite loop anyone can use
  • A registered ID, owner-contact and a public stolen alert
In the wild

How it works in practice

AC
Hides an NFC tag in the seatpost; when the bike turns up dumped, a finder taps it and messages the owner the same day.
