Are you using a bicycle registry?

[theemartymac]

So as the title asks, are you using a registry? if so, which one? What do you like about it?

I have just signed up for 529 Garage, but there seem to be a few out there. Where should the new rider go in your region to record theirs?

https://project529.com/garage (North American) - I like the app, which also allows detailed bike specs and component recording, plus pictures.

https://www.bikeregister.com/ (UK Based) - I like the QR Code label option. Could be a good option for emergency medical info too?

https://bikeindex.org/ - Claims to be the largest on the planet? The Blog section is a nice touch with theft prevention and education articles.

I am on bike index as well as a local registry managed by the local police.
For these expensive bikes, any bit is welcome

Here is an interesting interview with a Vancouver Bike Detective (Yes, that's a real job! ;-) ) and it covers a wide range of challenges to combatting bike theft and tracking/reporting.

I just registered my new RadMission with 529, and I will be registering it with my local police department as soon as the rest of the accessories come in and she is ready to ride.
