How do you look up a bike serial number?

Refer to the bike manufacturer’s website for possible further information on the bike’s serial number. After a new bike purchase, write down the serial number, make and model of the bike in a safe location in case of an emergency. If the bike does not have a serial number, it's possible to engrave a driver’s license number on the bike to create its own identifier. A serial number or other numeric identifier makes it possible to register the bike at a local police station and offers a better chance of recovery in the event that the bike is stolen.
