Compare features and find the best bike registration service for you
Bike Index is a nonprofit, open-source platform founded in 2013 and running the largest free bike registry in the United States. Backed by over 300 police department partnerships, it excels in its home market and enables community-based theft recovery through integrations with marketplaces and law enforcement.
Bike Index is limited to English and focuses almost entirely on North American cities, leaving international cyclists without coverage. BikeGuard offers the same free registration with QR stickers, a global multilingual database, and a mobile app — covering cyclists across 50+ countries.
