Register Your Bike

Register your bike with our partner: BikeShepherd.org

One of the greatest barriers we find in helping people get their bikes back is that many, perhaps even the majority of bicycle owners, have not taken the time to record their serial number and effectively have no proof of ownership.

The Chicago Stolen Bike Registry has partnered with Bike Shepherd, an organization based in London which is aimed at leveraging available technology to fight bicycle theft, to provide a convenient registration option.

Please register your bike using the form to the right. Even if you are missing some key info, take this opportunity to flip your bike over and record the serial number. You can update or create another certificate later with more complete information.

Do it.

The first screen will create your account, and then you'll arrive at a screen to enter your bike's details. Once you complete that form you will receive a .pdf ownership certificate via e-mail with all of your bike's details.

Please fill in as much detail as possible about the bike, especially including any details only an owner might know.

If you wish to return to your account, just click the "BikeShepherd.org" link above and enter your username and password in the "member login" fields at the upper right. Note that your information has not changed if you registered before the Bike Shepherd name was changed from BikeRevolution.
