"We’ve spotted two males cycling on the pavement. P.C. Johnston makes a quick turn and is off his bike questioning the one. Within seconds he has the bike turned over and is doing a frame check. Often a thief will scratch off the frame number. Luckily, this time it’s still there. The two males look nervous. P.C. Johnston has a feeling the bike is stolen. He asks if either of them have a previous criminal record. One answers yes. The frame number check comes back with no matches. If the bike is stolen then because the owner hasn’t registered it there’s nothing P.C. Johnston can do. He takes a description of the bike and let’s the two off without a fine.
He turns to me and tells me “Registering your bike makes all the difference”. I promise him I’ll pass it on to London Cyclist readers."
