Getting your bike security marked by the police is a highly effective, visible deterrent to bike thieves and helps reunite cyclists with their bike if it is stolen and subsequently recovered by the police.
Come and get your bike marked for free!
We want to make it as easy, safe and enjoyable as possible for people coming to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus to do so via sustainable travel –such as cycling or walking. The latest Campus transport survey found that cycling journeys make up 16% of journeys to campus. We hope that by fighting cycle crime, this number continues to rise. You can plan your cycle route with Cambridge CycleStreets.
Our Campus bike marking is supported by CamCycle and the Cambridge University Hospitals sustainability team, which engages with staff, patients and the wider community to share information and encourage healthier and more sustainable behaviours.
“If you are able to swap just one daily car journey for a bike ride, this can help towards significantly lowering your carbon footprint. Not only does cycling help you do your bit for the environment, but it helps you to get fitter and healthier. This is why we wanted to promote and showcase how great cycling can be and thought that having our stall next to the bike marking stand gave us the perfect opportunity to do this.”
Lynne Brown, Travel and Transport Coordinator for the Cambridge Biomedical Campus
