Sounds great - does anyone know how this is done? i.e. it is just marked with special pen or is something attached to help police track if stolen?

The scheme is excellent, mark you bikes, put a sticker on, register it on a national database. But it was a little amateurish last time and I need to go back and sort some stuff out. Hopefully be better today, sorry for the whinge.....

Is there any plan to repeat this scheme some time soon?
