Now that you have your bike, we want you to be seen on it and to keep it! West Midlands Police, BUBUG and the University are working together to help you do this.
If you are interested in what an insurance company is currently (2009) recommending, then E&L Insurance's FAQ list has an entry indicating what their approved locks are. This will give you an idea of what to look for when you go shopping.
Advice on how to lock your cycle and what to use is available here.
Security coding with the SelectaMark system is available FREE OF CHARGE if you bring your bicycle to one of the outdoor cycle road shows or in to the West Midlands Police room in University Centre on a Wednesday.
To make you and your bicycle more obvious on the roads we have high visibility garments available for sale (long and short sleeved tops and arm/leg bands). We also have sets of cycle lights (front white, rear red, with batteries and brackets) available so that you can ensure that your cycle complies with the lighting regulations.
So where is all this happening?
The West Midlands Police have an office in University Centre that is open on a Wednesday between 12.00 and 15.00.
