Cities, get more done to combat bike theft.
We support cities to reduce bike theft with customised solutions.
The bike theft Audit.
At.a.bike, we empower cities to combat bicycle theft with a suite of tailored services: The first is a confidential audit of each city's current bike theft prevention measures. This service combines in-depth web research with a tailored questionnaire, resulting in a report that evaluates existing strategies and provides numerous additional recommendations to further reduce bike theft.
We also create customizable Educational Materials: We provide a variety of infographics and social media visuals designed to raise awareness about bike theft prevention. Each city receives customized versions featuring their name and logo, ensuring localized impact.
Ready-to-Use Content for Public Outreach: Our team delivers sample texts for websites, brochures, and other materials, covering essential topics such as proper bike locking techniques, selecting theft-resistant locks, and identifying stolen bicycles. Cities can use these texts as-is or adapt them to suit their needs.

Actionable ideas against bike theft.
Bike theft is a persistent barrier to sustainable urban mobility. It’s the second biggest reason people hesitate to cycle, and 20% of cyclists abandon biking after a theft. Almost every cyclist has a theft victim among their close friends.
Most cities are stepping up with cycling policies that tackle theft—think secure parking, campaigns promoting quality locks, and more. But crafting effective anti-theft strategies takes time and resources many small teams simply don’t have. That’s where a.bike steps in.
