Register your bike in Williams Lake

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

The City of Williams Lake (City) encourages all bicycle owners to register their bicycles in its Bike Protection Program.

Bicycle owners can complete a registration form including a photograph of their bicycle. The owner retains the information, and in the event the bike is lost or stolen, he or she can bring the form to City Bylaw Services. This will assist the bylaw department in identifying bikes and owners, reuniting owners with lost or stolen bicycles. Registration forms are available at WL City Hall, local bicycle stores or click here. There is no fee for the Bike Protection Program.

Bicycles are a high theft item in Williams Lake, and the City wants to reduce thefts,” says Councillor Laurie Walters, Chair of the City’s Community Services Committee. “By registering your bike, you can increase the chances of having your missing or stolen bike returned to you.”

A City representative will be in attendance at a bike rodeo May 13, 2012 at the Canadian Tire parking lot from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm to help owners register their bicycles.

In addition, the City will assist with registrations again at the Pedal by the Puddle June 10th, 2012 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Gun-A-Noot Trail, near the old Williams Lake Airport.

For more information, please contact the City at 250-392-2311 or you can contact Councillor Walters, via email, at lwalters@williamslake.ca
