FYI. . .Bike Theft Prevention in the City of Lake Worth

Lake Worth residents will be able to register their bike at various outreach events held by the City. At registration, residents will need to provide their contact information and an identifying number, such as a driver’s license number. That information will be collected into a database for use by PBSO. The ID number will be engraved into their bike in a discrete location. A uniquely numbered decal (sticker) will be issued and placed on the bike. The decal denotes that the bike is registered and will make it easily identifiable to PBSO.

How do I sign up?

The City will have a booth at many local events over the next few months, where residents may register for the program. The timing of the launch is in advance of the holiday season in anticipation bike purchases that may be made.

The First Registration:
A Strange & Unusual Night Halloween Event
Friday, October 30 | 6pm – 9pm
Cultural Plaza | 414 Lake Avenue

If signing up at an event is not convenient, Lake Worth residents may also stop by Family Bicycles located on 127 South Dixie Highway. The shop has bicycle registration forms that will be forwarded to the City, an engraver and the decals.
