Boston Announces New Program to Combat Bike Theft

As part of an initiative to make Boston a world-class bicycling city, the Stolen Bike Alert program makes reporting stolen bikes easier and increases the chances of finding your stolen bike by giving you a larger network of search parties.

When you report a stolen bike, they send out an alert to the police, local bike shops, hospital and school security, and everyone who follows the city on Twitter or Facebook. All of these people will be on the look-out for your bike and the city will notify the police as they receive updates on your stolen bike.

Please take a few minutes to register your bike online right now.
Become a bike vigilante by following the city on Twitter, Facebook, or email.

For more information, contact Nicole Freedman, Director of Boston Bikes at: Nicole.freedman.bra@cityofboston.gov
