If you’re a cyclist, you know there’s nothing worse than having your bike stolen. It’s not just a piece of gear—it’s a lifeline to the open road, your training partner, and, let’s face it, your pride and joy.
That’s why 4iiii Innovations has taken a big step toward making bike theft a lot harder for thieves to get away with.
The 4iiii Bike Index registration feature is now part of their iPhone app, letting you register your bike directly with Bike Index, the world’s largest non-profit bike registry.
This update means you don’t need to juggle multiple apps or websites to protect your bike. Just pop into the 4iiii app, fill out your bike’s details, and you’re good to go.
If the worst happens and your bike goes missing, you’ll already have the info on hand to share with authorities or even the public, boosting your chances of getting it back.
What’s New in the 4iiii App?
The integration with Bike Index is just one part of 4iiii’s bike protection game plan. If you’re using the PRECISION 3+ Powermeter, you can also take advantage of Apple Find My technology.
This feature taps into Apple’s massive network—over 1.5 billion devices strong—letting you track your power meter in real-time.
Not only does this help with theft recovery, but it’s also handy if you’re prone to losing things (no judgment here).
These two tools work together like peanut butter and jelly—Bike Index provides detailed records of your bike, and Apple Find My helps pinpoint where it is. It’s a one-two punch to keep your ride safe.
Mike Mercer, Director of Engineering & Innovation at 4iiii, put it simply: “Adding Bike Index registration to our app is a significant step in our ongoing commitment to providing cyclists with the best bike recovery solutions.
We understand the importance of bike protection to our customers, and this integration offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring peace of mind for our users.”
Why Bike Index?
Bike Index isn’t just another registry. It’s a free, community-driven platform that works with law enforcement and everyday people to reunite lost bikes with their owners. Seth Herr, Bike Index’s Co-Founder, sees this partnership as a big win for cyclists:
“We are delighted to partner with 4iiii to bring our bike registry services to their app. This integration is a testament to 4iiii’s dedication to their customers and to the cycling community at large.
Together, we’re making strides in the fight against bike theft and ensuring cyclists have the tools they need to protect their bikes.”
How It Works
If you’ve got the latest version of the 4iiii iPhone app, you’re already set up to register your bike. Just head to the Bike Index section, follow the super-simple steps, and voilà—you’ve got an official record of your ride. Android users, hang tight—your update is on the way.
By rolling out the 4iiii Bike Index registration feature, 4iiii is giving cyclists a better way to keep their bikes safe. Combined with the Apple Find My integration, you’ve got a powerhouse solution to make sure your bike stays yours.
Why It Matters
Let’s be real: bikes aren’t cheap, and they’re not just “stuff.” They’re part of your lifestyle, your workouts, and maybe even your commute.
And 4iiii totally gets it. They’re not just about making you faster or stronger—they want you to ride without a worry, knowing your bike is protected.
Whether you’re out crushing weekend rides, commuting every day, or gearing up for your next big race, this new feature is a game-changer.
