The idea of registration of bicycles as a preventive measure against theft is not new. In some countries, customers can register the identification number of his bicycle straight into the police. And this method is really working effectively, albeit in a local scale. German businessman in December launched an international resource registration Bicycle MyBikeNumber, where users from all over the world can register your bike, put his photo and description.
Registered bicycle is assigned a unique code QR code, which can be printed and affixed to the bicycle frame. Feature of the code is that it is read by many electronic devaysa. By the way, on a sticker with a code has a very interesting inscription - "Do not steal my bike - it is registered!"
Resource registration Bicycle MyBikeNumber also allows retailers to register his invention under the special "dealer code".
Owners of registered bikes can place any ads on the site of the theft, loss, sales of bicycles. Members have the opportunity to visit the site and check ID bicycle, which they intend to buy to make sure that it is not stolen.
If the site is found that the stolen bike - to its rightful owner immediately sent a confidential message.
The main purpose of the resource register a bike MyBikeNumber - help users avoid the theft cases that have recently significantly increased. According to FBI statistics, only in the U.S. in 2008 was 221.936 stolen bikes. Globally, this figure rises to 1.5 million.
