From today, anyone in Belgium can register a bicycle in the national MyBike database. It’s a government initiative to help in the fight against bicycle theft and is being launched on occasion of the first National Week of Action against Bicycle Theft. Thanks to a sticker with a personal QR code that you stick on your bicycle, the police can find out more quickly whether a bicycle is stolen or not. In Brussels, the system has existed for several years, but now it is also being rolled out in Flanders and Wallonia.
This is only useful in the unlikely event that the stolen bike turns up somewhere. Just like engraving, it won’t prevent a single theft. Better to buy an airtag and two decent locks.
