Bikes can be found all over schools and college campuses. Getting around by bike makes a lot of sense for those who live near school. Biking helps save money by eliminating the need to buy gasoline, is environmentally friendly, and may allow riders to bypass the congested traffic common around college campuses. But if you ride your bike to school, is it safe sitting on campus while you are in class? Hopefully, you’ve taken the proper steps to secure your bike and can safely answer yes to that question. If not, then the following tips can help you to feel a little more comfortable about the safety of your bike.
The first thing that you should do before riding your bike to campus is to register your bike with the school or university. Most universities make it easy for the student to go online and fill out the necessary information. Registering your bike will allow you to notify the school that it is stolen and make it easier to claim the bike if it is found.
The next step is to purchase a quality lock if you don’t already have one. If you don’t lock your bike up, anyone could walk up and get on the bike as if the bike was their own. No one else would be the wiser. For this reason, you should always lock your bike up at school.
