Follow the regulations outlined in Policy 3-232 when operating a bicycle, skateboard, rollerskate, scooter or any other non-motorized riding device on campus.

Bicycles locked improperly can be targets for theft. Use a U-lock and cable to secure your bicycle to the bike rack. The University Police offer free kryptonite U-locks through the Lock It or Lose It program during Earth Week (April) and Bike Week (September).

It is recommended to register your bike online at the Bike Index. This database makes stolen bikes harder to sell and easier to recover by storing information that others can use to contact you.
