Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It’s fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.

Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.

Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.
