Let's end bike theft. Together.
Bike theft prevention infrastructure for cities, campuses & organizations
The Problem
in losses each year
are ever recovered
of owners never report theft to police
Bike theft erodes public trust, creates financial stress, and discourages active transportation. It's also linked to drug-related offenses and ties up police resources — recovered bikes overburden evidence storage for months.
