There are a number of techniques you can use to help prevent your or your student's bike from being stolen.
- When possible, use a U-lock as it is more secure than a cable lock. Cable locks can easily be cut through with cable-cutters or a saw.
- Lock your wheel and frame together.
- Use a bike rack (sign poles are not as secure).
- When possible, do not park your bike on the sidewalk or street overnight. Do not leave your bike outside your garage overnight.
- Lock your bike in a well-lit and well-traveled area.
- Take lights and other easily removed items with you.
- Register your bike with bikeindex.org. Upload a photo of your bike.
