Tips for biking to work for the first time
Bikes & Badges
The Dublin Police Department is thankful for Dubliners who donated new and gently used bikes at the 2022 Bikes & Badges bicycle donation drive! The department collected 135 bikes from the Dublin community this April. Dublin Police partnered with four other Central Ohio police agencies and the Starfish Assignment on this event. If you’re interested in donating a bike, contact the Starfish Assignment.
Register Your Bike with Dublin Police
Get a free bike registration tag from the Dublin Police that can help police officers reunite you with your bicycle should it be lost or stolen.
Visit the Dublin Justice Center, 6565 Commerce Pkwy., Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to receive a registration tag. Bring your bicycle, if you can. If not, have your bike’s make, model, color and serial number ready. With questions, contact Corporal Quaid Traves at dtraves@dublin.oh.us or 614.410.4025.
Use a Bike Repair Station
Loosened bolt? Flat tire? The City has you covered. Bicycle repair stations have basic tools including an air pump, flat and Phillips head screw drivers as well as Allen wrenches. The station doubles as a rack to hold the bicycle while repairs are being completed, allowing the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments.
