BICYCLE THEFT PREVENTION

1. Bike thieves look for bikes that have been immobile for long periods of time, look expensive, and have minimum security.
2. Always lock your bike in well-lit, populated areas.

3. Register your bike through Project 529, the free UO Bicycle Registration Program.

4. Use multiple locks on your bike and ALWAYS use a U-lock. 

5. If you lose or break a key to your lock, University of Oregon Parking and Transportation Department can cut the lock for $15.00.  

6.  Report suspicious activity immediately to UO Police Department at 541-346-2919.

7. Take your bike accessories with you.
