Bicycle Registration with the ADFC at the Mainz Environmental Store
On Friday, August 14, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., the ADFC Mainz-Bingen e.V. will once again be marking bicycles at the Mainz Umweltladen (Steingasse 3-9). Having your own bicycle coded is a good idea, because nationwide coding campaigns have led to a decrease in bicycle thefts and an increase in the clearance rate.
It is important that interested individuals bring the following with them to the appointment:
- Proof of purchase for the bicycle,
- the registration form in duplicate (provided with your registration confirmation),
- your ID card,
- the bicycle itself,
- a key to remove the battery (for e-bikes) and any other special keys for the anti-theft device, if these are needed to adjust the seat height.
Due to the limited number of participants, registration is required at: 06131 - 122121 or via umweltinformationstadt.mainzde.
Kommunale Abfallwirtschaft Mainz und Mainz-Bingen AöR will cover 5 euros of the cost for each of the first 15 registrations. The regular fee is 10 euros for ADFC members and 15 euros for non-members. However, anyone who applies for ADFC membership on-site will receive the coding free of charge.
