Putting the brakes on bike theft: how Retainagroup is helping cyclists ride worry-free
Lost your wheels to bike theft? You’re not alone, and we’ve had enough.
As cycle theft continues to surge across cities and towns, both casual riders and committed commuters are feeling the impact. Bikes vanish from streets, sheds, and racks every day, often without a trace. But at Retainagroup, we’ve developed a robust and proven way to fight back.
The Solution: Permanent Marking Meets Smart Security
Our cutting-edge cycle marking solution is designed to do two things exceptionally well:
- Deter thieves before they strike
- Help recover your bike if the worst happens
Using a unique identification code etched permanently onto your bike’s frame, our marking system links your cycle directly to the International Security Register (ISR)—a secure, 24/7/365-accessible database used by police and recovery teams nationwide.
This means your bike can be instantly verified and traced—even if it's moved, modified, or stripped of other identifiers. And unlike a simple sticker or tag, our marking cannot be removed without leaving visible damage, making it an active deterrent that sends a clear message to would-be thieves: This bike is traceable.
Why It Works

- Police-accessible ISR database supports fast recovery
- No subscription or ongoing fees, one mark lasts for life
- Discreet but permanent, protecting your frame without changing your ride's look
- Trusted by law enforcement across the UK and internationally
