Bicycle Parking

Bicycle parking is available throughout campus and is designated by the presence of bicycle racks, blocks, lockers, and/or specifically designated bike parking areas/enclosures. Bicycles must be parked only within the boundaries of designated bike areas/enclosures and properly attached to a bike rack/block or within a bike locker.

Bicycle Enforcement

Bicycle Theft

As is the case on many college campuses these days - due to the vast quantity of parked bicycles - theft can be a problem. A few seconds is all a thief needs to take your bike when it is unsecured. Professional thieves can steal your bike within a few minutes even when secured. To help protect against bicycle theft it is recommended that you utilize an inexpensive bike for your campus commute. When locking your bicycle always utilize a good quality U-Lock. Be sure to secure the front wheel and frame to the bike rack.

Bicycle registration is free, strongly recommended, and may help prevent bike theft. It also may help recover your bike in the event of theft. See "Bicycle Registration" below.
