Unfortunately, the student did not secure his bicycle with a lock at the beginning of the school day. 

We presented the student with a new bicycle and lock during school hours. He was thrilled and took part in our bicycle safety lesson. 

We registered his bicycle on our Toronto Police Service website under the Bicycle Registration page. The bicycle registration confirmation print out was given to him as well. 

Whether it's for a quick trip inside the mall or a full day at school, it's an unsettling feeling to leave your precious bicycle out in the open without a lock. 

A bicycle that's properly locked is difficult to steal, and even the most well-equipped bike thieves will target something easier to reduce their chances of getting caught in the act of trying to steal your bicycle. 

Be sure to always register your bicycle with the Toronto Police Service. This will greatly increase your chances of having your bicycle returned to you if it is lost or stolen. 

Please visit  Toronto Police Service Bicycle Registration to register your bicycle.

Be sure to ride safe and always secure your bicycle when left unattended!
