Locking Tips

Always lock your bike to a bicycle rack. Use a high-quality “U” shaped lock. Avoid using lightweight cables or chains, or low quality U-locks. Always attach your bicycle to the rack through the frame and both wheels. Lock all easily detachable parts or take them with you. Avoid leaving your bicycle locked outside overnight. Check the lock before departing to ensure it is secured.

UC Berkeley provides resources, information, and a variety of bike parking options for the campus community. With our partner and local bike organization Bike East Bay, we offer free Urban Cycling 101 classes on campus at Dwinelle Hall, lists of resources for new and seasoned cyclists, and opportunities to participate in fun events like Bike to Work Month in May!

We also strongly suggest everyone registers their bike with UCPDPlease note, due to COVID-19 restrictions on campus, UCPD bike registration hours may change. Please email police@berkeley.edu for more information.

Bicycle Parking

Bicycle racks are provided at convenient locations throughout the central campus area. To reduce the risk of theft and vandalism, the campus is also equipped with three secure, covered parking facilities that are free of charge for University affiliates.

Cyclists are advised to invest in a high quality lock for maximum security. On campus, bikes must be locked to a University-designated bicycle rack and must not impede or block any campus thoroughfare or facility.
