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.

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 two 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.

In addition, they will impound Powered Scooters attached to any element of a disability access ramp or left in a manner that obstructs use of a disability access ramp.
