On the evening of September 17th, Samantha waited patiently for a bicycle. After receiving her bicycle, we registered it on our system. Her unique tag was number 10,000! Recycle Bicycle began registering bicycles in 2014.
Ross Willard approached Harrisburg Police to ask about their policy regarding bicycles and theft. Harrisburg had a code that required bicycles be registered, but enforcement was difficult.
After this consult, Ross agreed to register our bicycles. It was a manual process, and somewhat
tedious, but proved helpful when reuniting bicycles with their owners. We want to thank
Harrisburg Police, who purchased the first set of registration tags for RBH, but since then, we’ve
been responsible for that expense.
In 2021, we started using an online registration system, which helps us retrieve vital
information about a bike’s owner quickly.
Fun Fact – So far in 2024, we have registered 1,640 bicycles!
