- Keep your receipt
of purchase and a record of your bicycle's make, model, color and frame
number in your files.
- 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.
- Never leave
your bicycle unattended anywhere.
- Consider using
a U-Bolt style lock for your bicycle. Attach the lock through a wheel,
the frame, and a stationary object such as a bicycle rack (make the
lock as awkward as possible to get at).
- Be sure that
the bicycle can not be lifted over what you are locking it to.
- For bicycles
with quick-release wheels, lock both the wheels and the frame
to a secure structure.
- Secure components
that are easily removed (such as lights, saddle bags and seat posts
with quick-release levers) or remove them.
- 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.
- Report any suspicious
behavior you see around the bicycle racks to SECURITY
as soon as possible.
