Our first Bike Register event was a great success!
We had a steady stream of ‘customers’ interested in registering their bikes and issued around 80 Bike Register Membership Plus Kits.
It was great to chat to our many members (and old friends) who came along, plus the opportunity to meet more Reading cyclists.
We saw cyclists of all ages and on all types of bikes, and now have a few new members to support our campaigns.
We explained how Bike Register works, the benefits in terms of both discouraging thieves and repatriating stolen bikes, and we gave out the free kits.
Some people were helped to register and label their bikes at the event. The free kits were funded by a TVP Community Fund grant.

A big thanks to RCC member John Sharp, who organised and helped with the free Dr Bike service, which continued outside until it was nearly dark.
Kidical Mass also came along to help and took the opportunity to speak to parents about the monthly family friendly bike rides. Find out more information about Kidical Mass here: https://kidicalmassreading.co.uk
We are planning future events so keep an eye on the Events section on our website and also on our Facebook page.
RCC Members will receive relevant email notifications.
