In Bad Vilbel, bicycle thefts are on the agenda. In view of the increasing theft rate, the police in the city see the need to take preventive measures. One of these measures is the bicycle coding, which is offered on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the premises of the police station on Riedweg 1.

The importance of bicycle coding for the community

The bicycle coding is a simple but effective procedure to identify the owners of bicycles. With this campaign, a special number is engraved into the frame of the bicycle. This number includes a combination of a circular detection, municipal key and personal information from the owner. This makes it possible to attribute re -found or stolen bicycles to your rightful owner. This is not only important for the safety of the cyclists, but also strengthens the sense of community by reducing the risk of property offenses.

The role of the police in prevention work

The initiative for bicycle coding represents another step by the police to increase the security of the citizens.
