Bicycle registration

It is important to get your bicycle engraved with your ID- number. Thisis no guarantee against theft, but it helps to prevent theft and makes it easier to find your bike.
At the bicycle office of the local police you can get your bicycle engraved for free, every Wednesday from 1 pm till 3:30 pm and on Thursdays from 5 pm till 7:30 pm.
Also at Velo you can let your bike engraved for free.

Bicycle theft

Bicycle theft still exists in Leuven. A good lock to secure your bike is very important.
If your bike is stolen, you must report it. Bicycle theft report forms can be found at Velo, Pangaea or at the police office.
You will get a replacement bike from Velo. The deposit for the stolen bike will be withheld until the bike is found (at the latest within six months after the date of theft). For the replacement bike you only pay a new deposit, no new rent.
