Bike Theft Prevention

Bicycle theft is an on-going problem. If you haven't already, you should

record the make, model and serial number of your bicycle and store this

information in a safe place. It's also a good idea register your bike with the

Department of Public Safety, FREE. The CU Public Safety Crime

Prevention Unit will engrave a Police Unique ID number on the bike. The

bike will be automatically registered to the owner from New York to

California.

While it's not possible to make your bicycle 100% theft-proof, there are

some simple steps you can take to increase the security of your bicycle

and its parts:

Use a case-hardened "U" lock; cable locks are easily cut

If you use a regular padlock, purchase one with a 7/16" shank, the

largest size that will fit the campus bike racks

Lock your bike in a well-lit area

Lock your bike in an area that can be seen by passing pedestrians or

motorists

Remember to also lock parts attached with quick-release

mechanisms

Some poor examples of locking your bike:

Frame Locked, but not the wheel. Wheel locked, but not the frame.

The correct way to secure your bike. Both the frame and wheels are locked If you don't want to be too obsessive with your locks, you can buy locking hubs for your wheels. With these, you get a special key that can be the only thing able to remove the wheels from your bike. The poor person's version is the pipe clamp. While someone can still steal your wheels with these, it will definitely slow them down.

CU Public Safety / NYPD Bike Registration Protect your bike by registering it. While registering your bike won't keep it from being stolen, it greatly aids in its return to you if it is recovered by the police. The police will not give you back your bike unless they have proof that it belongs to you. In addition, it helps the police identify and locate the proper owner. CU Public Safety offers FREE bike registration with the NYPD & Columbia University.
