It is the first worldwide bike registration service, a free online tool that lets bike retailers register their bikes and its components, or search for them across the globe. Users are given a [QR tracking code](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-and-found-id-tag), which can be read with any mobile device, upon registration. The code can be printed as a sticker that the user can stick to his or her bike frame. Dealer codes provided by MyBikeNumber allow bike retailers to register their inventory, report them as [stolen or lost](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-security), or recorded as sold to a new owner, through the site. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Global Bike Tracking:** Mybikenumber offers a worldwide bike registration service, opening up opportunities for cross-border bike tracking and recovery. - **QR Tracking Code:** The use of QR tracking codes on bikes allows for efficient and accessible bike registration and identification, enabling easy tracking and reporting of stolen or lost bikes. - **Online Bike Registration:** The growth of online bike registration services provides convenience for bike retailers and owners, streamlining the process of tracking and managing bike inventory. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bike Retail:** Bike retailers can leverage global bike tracking solutions to enhance customer safety and confidently manage their inventory. - **Security and Anti-theft:** Companies specializing in security and anti-theft solutions can explore partnerships with bike registration services to improve bike tracking and recovery systems. - **Mobile Technology:** The integration of QR tracking codes in bike registration presents opportunities for mobile technology companies to develop innovative solutions for bike tracking and identification. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tracker-Friendly Bicycle Bells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbell.md) - [E-Bike Service Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bkre.md) - [Open-Source E-Bike Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trackting-technology.md) - [Smart Bike Docking Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bike-docking-station.md) - [QR Code Tracker Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tile-lost-and-found-labels.md) - [Ride-Sharing E-Bike Manufacturers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-bike-seb-20.md) - [Anti-Theft eBike Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bosch-battery-lock.md) - [App-Controlled Custom E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-electric-bike.md) - [Compact Universal GPS Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comodule-guardian.md)
