Register your bike, add a 529 Shield, and if it ever goes missing - send a missing bike alert to get the nearby community looking out for it.
529 Garage is the free bike registration platform built to get stolen bikes home. An unregistered bike is anonymous. A registered bike is traceable - and that's how stolen bikes find their way home.
Registering your bike is quick and free, and your registration stays on record for good.
If your bike ever goes missing, send a missing bike alert. One alert reaches riders, bike shops, and police near you, all at once - plus a shareable missing bike page. With over 400 law enforcement agencies, universities, shops, clubs, and fellow riders in the mix, we've got your back.
Spot a bike that might be stolen? Use Check a Bike to search by serial number, shield ID, or manufacturer and see its status instantly - no account required.
Features:
• Register your bike for free with photos and a serial number for a permanent record.
• Missing bike alerts reach riders, bike shops, and police near you, all at once.
• Get a shareable missing bike page if your bike goes missing.
• Check a Bike lets you search any bike's status before you buy.
• Share your bike info with law enforcement and partner organizations.
• Browse a map of recent missing bike alerts anywhere in the world.
• Register a bike on behalf of someone else.
Let's end bike theft. Together.

I had first signed up and registered my bike. Then I deleted the app. Then I tried to reinstall the app and get back in, but my account was gone. This all happened within a few months. Does one need to keep an app on the phone when it may be months or years in between before a theft happens. Why automatically delete peoples accounts? I assume that was what happened.
Bike Registration Made Easy

Registering my bike with the new 529 Garage app was so easy. In about 5 mins the app helps you capture important details like serial number and pictures of the bike. I hope I never have to use it but the stolen alert feature notifies other users in your local area to be on the lookout for your bike. Police can’t identify owners of stolen bikes when they are recovered — unless the bike is registered. The only personal information required to register was my email address.
Love the concept - want to see it grow

The app isn’t anything out of this world but I love the idea behind registry’s and would love to see this grow. I think their must’ve been an update because my app has worked fine. Registered 3 of my bikes and I didn’t have any issues during the process. Pictures were easy to upload. Ordered their little decals for my bikes. Hope I never have to use it 🫣
awkward, difficult

The intention is wonderful, it seems. The project is worthwhile and overdue.The app and the website do not flow. They are frustrating, non-intuitive, and glitchy. They both give me a headache.This app needs to be rebuilt in order to facilitate mass adoption—which, after all, is the goal.
