We chip our pets, lojack our cars, so why not take some extra steps to register our bikes. According to FBI statistics, bicycle theft is on the rise -and with increased gas prices at the pump, there are a lot more bikes on the road. People are even getting back to using a bike as means of work transportation! Personally, I think it's one of the positive things to arise from soaring gas prices.

According to the statistics, over 1.5 million bicycles are stolen each year. College campuses have an especially high bicycle theft rate. While police recover almost 50% of stolen bikes, most are never returned because they are not registered. As a result, the unidentified bikes are sent to auction. With NBR, you increase the chance of getting our bicycle returned. In the event that your bike is stolen but not recovered for 6 months, NBR will cover the cost of registering your next bike.

NBR has 3 levels of registration.

  • $10 for 10 years per bike
  • $25 for 30 years (per bike) transferable
  • $25 family plan: 5 bikes covered for 10 years each

Bell Slant Helmet

If you've been reading my blog regularly, you know that I'm frugal but not at the expense of quality, reliability and dependability. As my sister always says, "If you buy cheap, you buy twice." That's why I like to buy on sale - and that brings me to the Bell Slant Helmet. This Helmet can be found at almost double the cost of what you can get it for on Amazon - and that makes it a great deal.

I've only ever owned Bell Helmets and what's great about the Bell Slant 2006 design, is that it brought a sleekness and hip-fashion sensibility to an otherwise not so fashionable necessity.

On Sale Now - click the picture above to get an awesome price.

As gas prices rise with no end in site – and alternative energy sources being many years away – we predict that biking and scooters are going to boom. And we say, it’s a win-win all around because you’ll cut your fuel consumption costs – and help you keep in shape!

If you’re worried about not being fit-ready to pedal everywhere you need to go – or concerned that hitting a hill is going to be too strenuous – then we suggest considering an electric, gas powered bicycle to augment pedal power!
