• Consider
using a U-Bolt style lock for your bicycle. Attach lock
through
a wheel, the frame, and a stationary object such
as a bicycle rack.
• Register your bicycle’s
make, model and serial number with Campus
Safety and Security.
• Engrave the bicycle to deter thieves and to help in
identifying and
returning a stolen bicycle.
Mark your identification in
two different locations
on non-removable parts.
• Report any suspicious
behavior you see around the bicycle racks. Never
leave your bicycle unattended anywhere.
•
Be sure that
the bicycle can not be lifted over what you are locking it
to.
•
For bicycles
with quick-release wheels, lock both wheels and the frame to
a
secure structure.
•
Secure
components such as seat posts with quick release levers,
lights,
saddle bags or remove them.
•
Make the lock
as awkward as possible to get at.
•
Do not leave your bicycle
locked to racks on campus over the summer unless
you are attending the University.
•
Before you walk away from your
bicycle, do a quick check that your lock
is really secure and there are no easily removable items.
•
Make sure that in parking and
locking your bicycle you are not impeding
pedestrian or handicap access.
•
Keep a record
of your bicycle's make, model, color, and frame number.
