Love your bike? Lock it up.bike_lock.jpeg
  • Protect your bicycle with a high-quality lock. U-locks are best, followed by heavy-duty cable/key locks.Securely lock both wheels and frame to a bike rack, leaving minimal slack in the cable. Keep the lock as high off the ground as possible.
  • When a designated bicycle parking rack is not provided, lock your bike to a fixed object.
  • Lock your bike in a conspicuous place where a thief is more apt to be noticed and tackled by fellow bike lovers.
  • Secure detachable items such as pumps and seats to your bike or take them with you.
  • Register your bicycle with the Boulder Police Department and/or CU authorities.
