Founded in 1984, the National Bike Registry (NBR®) worked with law enforcement to return stolen bikes to their rightful owners. Originally headquartered in North Highlands, California, it offered computerized registration and a toll-free number allowing law enforcement agencies to report the recovery of stolen bicycles in order to return them to their owners.
On January 31, 2017, Project 529 announced that it had acquired the National Bike Registry and merged the NBR registration database into its own.
