Cycle registration at the point of sale

Responsible department: Department for Transport

In order to choke off sale of stolen cycles and increase recovery rates, legislate that: # cycle frame numbers be registered with the police web site www.bikeregister.com at the point of sale, # that adverts (both printed and on line) for sale of second-hand bikes be required to show the frame number, # that insurance companies require frame numbers as well as proof of ownership before insuring a cycle
