Stafford Bike Tagging Event

Cyclists are invited to a free bike tagging event taking place in Stafford this weekend.
The event will take place on Tesco car park, Newport Road, on Saturday 1 February between 9am and 4pm.
On offer at the event are free bike tags, normally worth £14.99, and free bike maintenance. You can also obtain a cycle passport and register your bike on the national property database, Immobilise.
Jack Welsh, crime reduction officer for Stafford and Stone, is co-ordinating the event and will be supported on the day by local neighbourhood officers working alongside colleagues from Staffordshire County Council’s Bike bus.
Cyclists are advised to take the following crime prevention measures to help protect their property:

• keep your bike out of view by keeping it in the garage or shed when at home, and ensure that your garage or shed is securely locked
• as an additional security measure consider fitting ground anchors in your shed or garage
• always secure your bike – even if you’re gone for just a couple of minutes
• lock your bike through the bike frame and secure removable parts to an immovable object
• register your bike for free at www.immobilise.com. You can register your bike’s serial number, upload a photo, and even record it as stolen. These measures will increase your chance of getting it back if it is recovered by the police.
• if you see any suspicious activity report it immediately to the police on 101.{/quote]
