Q1. My friend gave me his bicycle. When I rode it, a police officer stopped me and asked if I stole the bicycle.
What should I have done?
A1. The previous owner of the bike should clear their anti-theft registry at a local police station. After the registration is cleared, you need to renew the bike registry at a bike shop.
To register the bike, a confirmation number is printed on the bike. Please take the bike to the shop to get it registered.
If you ride a bicycle which has been left at garbage area, it is still regarded as stealing the bicycle.
