Secure your bike! Free bicycle coding in Heringsdorf and Karlshagen

In northern Germany, a lot of emphasis is placed on the safety of bicycles today, and not without reason. Every year, around 300,000 people in Germany, often against their will, get rid of their wire tesel, such as [news.de] (https://www.news.de/lokales/858779086/polizeioticker-karlshagen-heringsdorf-14-25-dieble-heute/1/). Especially now in the high season, where the weather invites, the dangers from bicycle theft are particularly high. In order to counteract this trend, several appointments for bicycle coding take place this week.

The police in Heringsdorf on Tuesday, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and in the Karlshagen police station on Thursday at the same time offers the opportunity to have wheels encoded. Pre-registrations are not required, but some documents should not be forgotten: ID card, proof of ownership and for e-bikes, and the cordless key is also mandatory. The coded bicycles are then less attractive for thieves and make it easier to track down if theft is.

protection against theft

The coding works several times: it discourages potential thieves, difficult to resale stolen bicycles and enables a quick assignment when the police find a bike. In addition to the coding, the police also give valuable tips on the theft protection. So it is advisable to use stable bicycle locks and complete the wheel on a firmly anchored object. E-bikes in particular should use several locks because they are often a popular destination for thieves.

Owners of expensive e-bikes should also think about a special bicycle insurance, as noted on GDV.de. These insurance companies offer greater protection and can even offer higher compensation than the usual household insurance. So you stand better in the event of a loss and can often rely on the reimbursement of the new.

coding and insurance options

The cost of the coding is usually between 15 and 20 euros, whereby ADFC members can often benefit from discounted tariffs. The process itself only takes about a quarter of an hour and can take place both by engraving and weather -resistant stickers. This makes it easier to determine the identity of the owner, which is particularly advantageous in the often confusing frame numbers of bicycles. An important tip in turn: When selling a coded bicycle, the coding should be noted in the purchase contract in order to avoid future problems, as on adac.de is highlighted.

With all these recommended measures, the bicycle coding has become an important part of the bicycle ownership. If you protect your bike and follow valuable tips on the theft protection, you can enjoy the wonderful time on two bikes in northern Germany carefree.
