ending bike theft

Riding a bike should be fun and worry free for everyone; but the scale of bike theft has overwhelmed the police, pushed insurance premiums sky high and made owning a bike feel impossible for many of us.

We founded BackPedal because we were fed up with the status quo and wanted to tackle bike theft head on.
