Now that the sun has gone south for the winter, and your bike is getting wet and rusty on the bike racks, it might be a good idea to take it back home next week!

Students: If you are still using your bike, then please move it to your dorm room during Thanksgiving break and also over Christmas break to prevent it from being a potential target for thieves. And as always, put the thickest U-lock on it that you can afford and NEVER leave it unlocked!
