Police were helping folk in East Kilbride get on their bikes this week when they stopped by the town centre.
Officers were outside the old Disney Store in the town centre on Tuesday to mark bikes with BikeRegister QR Kits for free.
Community officers teamed up with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for the event.
And EK town centre management also offered a 'bike park' facility for folk who wanted to stay a while.
Police say more events like this will be held throughout Lanarkshire over the summer months.
With over one million bikes registered, BikeRegister is the UK's leading online bicycle identification and registration initiative aiming to reduce cycle theft, identify stolen bikes and assist recoveries.
Registering and marking your bike achieves two major objectives:
- By marking the frame of your bike with a Police Preferred product it will make your bike less attractive as a theft target
- It assists the police in quickly tracing the ownership of recovered bikes through the Bikeregister permanent ID mark
- The Bikeregister ownership document is your Log Book and provides proof of ownership for you and any potential buyer
- Bikeregister also provides protection for buyers and sellers of second hand bikes as it allows prospective purchases to check the bike’s ID mark or frame number on the site to see if it is flagged as stolen.
