Lummen (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Cyclists at Lummen’s Saturday market received free bike engraving by LRH police volunteers Sabine De Ceulaerde and Agnes Goorts. Bikes were marked with CRI numbers, and live music was provided by Goe Beezig.
As HBVL News reported, cyclists at the Saturday market in Lummen could have their bicycles engraved for free. The service was provided by volunteers from the LRH police zone. The program has been running for 3 years. Each bike is marked with a national registration number, called the CRI. This makes it easier to trace stolen bicycles.
What is happening at Lummen market with free bike engraving and live music?
Volunteers Sabine De Ceulaerde and Agnes Goorts explained how the service works. The engraving is done with a special pen that marks the CRI number on the bike. People who do not want permanent engraving can choose a sticker with the registration number.
“In June, 62 bicycles were engraved in Lummen,”
they said.
“On Saturday, eight bicycles were offered.”
The market also featured live music. The duo from the orchestra Goe Beezig performed a series of serenades throughout the event. They also played for the 53 winners of Customer Month. Visitors could enjoy music while taking part in practical services.
The bicycle engraving program in Lummen and Herk-de-Stad has been running since 2022. In Lummen, engraving is offered twice a year, in June and October. In Herk-de-Stad, it is held on the third Monday of each month, except in November to March.
