Keep your bike secure

Security mark your bike for free

The TfL-funded MPS Cycle Task Force regularly set up engagement stalls offering free security marking and advice. Security marking your bike deters potential thieves as your bike can be easily traced if it is stolen.

Exchanging Places Officer Cycling

The Cycle Task Force also set up ‘Exchanging Places’ events to raise awareness of cycle safety. These events allow people to sit in the driver's seat of a HGV or bus to get a better understanding of what the driver can and can’t see, especially in regards to cyclists on the nearside and directly in front of the vehicle.

See our Exchanging Places YouTube video to raise awareness of the dangers of collisions between cyclists and large vehicles.
