Register Your Bike

The City of Davis is partnering with the University of California at Davis, Bike Davis and the Bike Campaign to combat bike theft by offering free, online bicycle registration through Bike Index, which is a national bicycle serial number registry. The online registration system allows people to submit detailed information regarding their bicycle.   

In addition to details about you and your bicycle being easily accessible to law enforcement, your bicycle will also be outfitted with a Bike Index tamper-proof, water-resistant, QR-coded Bike Index sticker. Law enforcement can scan the sticker to retrieve your information and notify you that your bicycle has been stopped and/or recovered.  

What to do if your bike is stolen:

1. File a police report online at: https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/police-department/online-crime-reporting. 
2. Report your bike stolen on Bike Index at: https://bikeindex.org/ so the community and law enforcement can be provided with information about your bike.

What to do if you find an abandoned bicycle:

1. Contact the Davis Police at 530-747-5400 or online at: https://www.cityofdavis.org/how-do-i/make-a-service-request
2. You can also add the bike to Bike Index by selecting “Add an abandoned bike you found” to the registry.
