Protect your bike: Coding appointments in Greifswald!
In 2022, around 135,000 bicycles were reported stolen in Germany, and the numbers appear to be continuing to rise. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania alone, the police recorded 4,358 bicycle thefts in 2024. There is really something to be said for all bicycle owners in the region! In order to give vulnerable bikes a little more security, bicycle coding is becoming more and more of a trend. This measure not only helps to mark the bikes, but can also be a strong deterrent for potential thieves, according to nordkurier.de.
An individually and visibly coded bicycle may be harder to sell as stolen property. The code also enables the police to quickly assign found bicycles to their owners. The ADFC coding, which has been tried and tested for over 30 years, has a high impact on theft prevention. Information about coding and registration details can be found on the ADFC website, as reported by adc.de.

Insurance protection for bicycle builders
Of course, coding is only part of security. Anyone who owns a high-quality bicycle or e-bike should think about special bicycle insurance. This offers more comprehensive protection against theft and other risks than regular household contents insurance. In the event of theft, the compensation can even be higher than with regular household contents insurance, report the experts from gdv.de.
The choice between new value or current value insurance can be crucial. While new value insurance reimburses the amount for a new bike of equal value, current value insurance describes the value of the bike at the time it was stolen. Depending on age and wear, this may be lower than the new value.
Bicycle owners should therefore not only provide their bikes with sturdy locks and a safe place to store them, but also consider the advantages of bicycle coding and appropriate insurance. This not only keeps the bike safe - it also keeps your nerves calm.
