If you purchase a new bike for your child, place his/her picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof of who owns the bike.

Good info kinda but also note that many bikes stolen are striped down. I would not want my kid's info on that bike. How about just taking some pics of it and maybe making something on the bike identifyin it as yours and also just having a photo.

For bike security, put the child's name, address, and phone number in the handle bar of the bike with the rubber handle off. Then put the rubber handles or plastic handles back on. If the bike gets lost or stolen and there's any question as to who it belongs to, all you have to do is pull the hand grips off and get out the paper saying who it does belong to.

But how will people know to pull off the handles to check for your information?

RE: Bike Security Tip

Sounds GREAT. I also have engraved my grandson's name on his bike main frame, then rubbed it with candle wax to seal it, to discourage theft/pawn/resale. It seems to work. God bless you for being alert to this need. : )
