LEARN how to protect your bike from thieves at a number of events in WGC.

Every Saturday this month there will be free bike security marking events, organised by Pcsos Amanda Bridgeman and Christina Cooper.

Pcso Cooper said: “Security marking involves putting the postcode and house number on the bike by engraving and protecting with a lacquer varnish, alternatively bikes can be marked in UV pen.

“A sticker can be placed on the bike saying that it is security marked which can act as a deterrent to potential thieves.”

She added: “I would urge all cyclists to come along to the event to get their bikes marked.

“There is no need to book.”

The events will take place at Panshanger Hardware in Moors Walk on this Saturday and August 21.

Further sessions will be held at Christ the King Church Hall in Haldens on August 14 and August 28.

Each bike-marking event runs from 2pm until 5.30pm.
