Safe your bike! Free bike registration event in Nuremberg

Wallensteinstraße 47, 90429 Nürnberg, Deutschland - The Nuremberg-West police invite all bicycle owners to a free bicycle registration campaign on July 17, 2025. From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., citizens have the opportunity to register their bicycles at the police in Wallensteinstrasse 47. No prior registration and only a few documents are necessary for participation: the bike itself, proof of ownership - be it an invoice or a purchase contract - as well as a valid ID card to participate. After registration, each participant receives evidence and a clearly visible sticker for the bicycle, which facilitates identification in the event of theft.

Last year the numbers were alarming: over 3,500 bicycles were stolen in Middle Franconia, which more than underlines the need for such actions. In Nuremberg alone, the authorities reported a total of 1,117 bicycle thefts displayed in 2024 with total damage of around 2.1 million euros. These statistics illustrate how important it is to register bicycles in good time in order to effectively assign them to the rightful owner in the event of theft. In addition, traffic safety consultations are also offered in the campaign to improve the safety in road traffic.

what you should know about registration

But in addition to registration, there are other tips and tricks that help keep the bike safe. The police urgently recommend securing bicycles with stable locks. In many cities, as in Berlin, police authorities offer free labeling services. Here bicycles are provided with weather -resistant, individually numbered stickers that cannot be easily replaced. In the event of a loss, the bike can be identified more easily, which could also be used in Nuremberg.

All of these measures are designed to ensure safe mobility to the citizens and reduce thefts. It is also important to clarify the securing opportunities. In addition to the registrations, the police also offer information materials, such as the "Select the bikes correctly" leaflet, which is available as a download. The desire for the cyclists to secure their bicycles is now being reinforced, because the topic of security is more topical than ever.

The local criminal police advice centers are available for further information on bicycle theft and protection options. So that all bicycles can roll through the city safely and protected, it is high time to take the initiative and take part in the registration campaign on July 17th.
