How do I check if a bike is stolen?
Every Cyclesite listing with a frame number is automatically checked against UK stolen-bike databases before the listing goes live, and matches are flagged for review. You can also run our free stolen bike check tool by entering the frame number.
How does serial number verification work?
Sellers photograph the frame number when creating a listing. That number is cross-checked against UK stolen-bike databases used by UK police forces. A match is flagged for our Trust and Safety team to review; a clean record publishes with a verification badge.
