During the past two weeks, six bicycle thefts occurred on the campus. There is no particular area that is being targeted; however, the thefts have been concentrated on the weekends. Security reminds everyone, that you should always lock your bike to a secure object, even if you are only stopping for a couple of minutes.

Remember:

  • The best security lock is the U-lock. Chains and cables are OK, but can be easily defeated with bolt cutters.
  • Secure your bike through both the frame and wheel.
  • Park your bike in a well-lighted, well-traveled area.
  • Do not hook the bicycle to stairway handrails. This can interfere with entering and exiting a building.
  • Do not leave the bicycle locked and unattended for and extensive period of time, such as several days, but if you do check on it periodically.
  • Record the serial number of the bike and keep it in a safe place. Also mark the bike with your driver's license number. Register the bike with the Security Office.
  • A reminder, while riding the bike on campus walkways, be cautious of pedestrians. They have the right of way. Please ride in a safe and courteous manner.
  • If you see or hear anything suspicious, notify SECURITY immediately.
