Bike Security & Registration

The 529 Garage, brought to you by Project 529, is a free, community-powered bike registration and recovery platform designed to fight the rise in bicycle theft. By registering your bike's serial number, photos, purchase details, and more, you gain access to powerful protections: if your bike is stolen, you can report it instantly, triggering alerts to local app users, bike shops, law enforcement, and even custom “Found Bike” maps. The option to order a tamper-resistant 529 Shield decal further deters theft by visibly linking your bike to its registration. With registration, missing-bike posters, police integration, and community notifications, the system significantly boosts your chances of recovery. In fact, over recent years, the network has helped recover thousands of bikes across North America.
