If you’ve lost a bike bring some ID and details of the bike and you may be reunited with your beloved steed.

Police will also be engraving bikes on the day. Get your bike engraved and deter that would-be thief.

There will be lots of fun on the day – including fun for the kids with a special appearance from Constable T Bear.
